lyrics

Got no cause for concern,
at least not tonight.
Finally managed to lighten up
like an old vacancy sign.

Where I sit penning poems
or just shooting at cans.
Trading blood to the great unknown
from a wobbling bar bench.

Where I can weather anything, it seems.
got a sense that i don't belong
like a kite caught up a tree.

The waitress is kind,
if a bit overcast,
but I feel fine
at long last.

I wish I hadn't mouthed off
so I could call you tonight.
your man's on the jukebox here,
I imagine your surprise.

I might ask you to dance,
you used to tug at my arm.
And twirl like some strange machine
with so many intricate parts.

you'd always return back to me.
you got an unruly spirit kid,
you keep slipping out of reach.

The waitress is kind,
I know she wants to talk.
But for once, I
do not.

I wish I had the guts
to be more than just honest.
I don't really play the songs
I just hammer on them.

The waitress is kind,
she pours us a round.
And tells me about getting lost
and found.
