Punches Lyrics

Pelican smile

Won't you stay awhile?

(You said it, you said)

Sleep with the dogs

I'll dream in and out

(You said it, you said)

I don't recall

Getting a call

Or knowing where you were on Saturday night

I never left

I just stayed in bed

Cause I didn't feel like fighting with you

You'd come to town and we'd play nice

Put on our best faces and show everyone

I still recall getting a call

Where neither of us could tell the truth

I eventually left and I went to bed

Cause I didn't feel like crying with you

What we don't say

Piles up every day

Biting your tongue

It's out of my hands

We could fix it if we tried

But is it really right

To waste all the water on old, dead plants?

Is what you really want to be in love

Or just someone to talk to when your plane lands?

We could fix it if we tried

But is it really right

To waste all the water on old, dead plants

And if you can't take the fall

I'll take all the punches

If you still don't understand why

Then use your assumptions

Like you do anyway

Now we're just left with

This pit in our stomach

You can call it a truce

I'll leave that up to you

I just hope that you see that I'm not

What you need
