Can you be kind? Walk with me to the corner store Yellow cans of 24's We're fighting in the yard That's what it takes to be your bud Can you be kind? Remembering your simple smile Upper lip that shrinks inside Behind the crooked glow The parts of you I cannot know And if you show your face, I won't be afraid Nothing's hidden now in the dark And if you show your face, I won't be afraid If you show me who you are Cause you are a palm tree, like me, not quite shady A palm tree, like me, not quite shady Can you be kind? And do you fit these changing clothes? The parts of me you do not know? And can we let it go, the limping life we sing at shows? And if you show your face, I won't be afraid Nothing's hidden now in the dark And if you show your face, I won't be afraid If you show me who you are Cause you are a palm tree, like me, not quite shady A palm tree, like me, not quite shady Apart, we start, we race in dark rooms Apart, we start, we race in dark rooms
