A late October haze Quiet like a riddle Stuck in the middle Of a new place But I'll dive in Nothing to lose But I'll keep that from you Please don't let me win And I'm counting loose change From these "I can't afford you baby" You are me And we are stuck 'Cos the thing about us lately Is that you want more than a "maybe" I would trade If I had to For a little more company Black gloves, the best dress and a stranger's eulogy A smile like bait That kind of evening for something unreeling Undesired haste Watch for the guard The troublesome kind Who advise from speaking your mind Can you bleed with an empty heart? Locked in a state Of "I would but they might hate me" You are me And we are stuck 'Cos the thing about us lately Is that you want more than a "maybe" I would trade If I had to For a little more company Black gloves, the best dress and a stranger's eulogy I'm sick from the taste it leaves in my mouth I wash with salt and hot rum I can tell you want peace of mind Well I'll say I'm doing fine I'm just a stain in time I'm sick from the taste it leaves in my mouth I wash with salt and hot rum I can tell you want peace of mind Well I'll say I'm doing fine I'm just a stain in time
