Sittin in the back
The back of your car
Said it would be easy, we didn't make it very far
And we rode it like armour
A mind, a machine
Sittin in silence and you can feel what I mean
Maybe it's the leaving or the rain that never falls
Maybe I'm just tired of working like a dog
For you, for him, forever
Downtowns lights made it hard to see
But you were there waiting, waiting for me
Leaning on your car you said I thought you quit
You know you shouldn't smoke and you told me you did
Without the random there can be no new thing
Without you here I'd be nothing
Or maybe, I'm just tired, of repetition
I throw caution in the mirror, see my reflection in the wind
Never like what I see, I always look again
And I, call out your name though it's been called before
Is it wrong of me to wake up on your floor
I guess I just missed you and wanted to see your face
And I know it kills ya to see me this way again
But you can't be beat
It was just a dream, one I refused to have
And I wake up in the morning knowing there's something I coulda had
A stranger's nightmare or a poet's dream
Well I do my work somewhere in between
And you held me in your thrall like a beautiful friend
And we'll always be moving we'll be running til the end
And that's fine by me
Because you can't be beat
And that's fine by me
Because you can't be beat"
