The Novel Ideas - Shoot Straight Lyrics

We both got lost in the middle of July
A quiet avenue on the streets at night
I knew it then that you'd forgot your key
Hardly never, almost ever it couldn't be

Now I, I'll sleep in late
And I, I can't shoot straight
To save my life

Another second skin is all I need
To get me through this summer's heat
Oh great a drop of rain, and then
The sky is gray, the clouds open

Rain pours and washes through
My clothes and my shoes
I'd ask if it was you
But I don't have
A clue

The trees are singing now, the fields all flood
Why worry it's only a little mud
The wind is picking up, it's growing strong
I can't remember it's been too long
Sing to the open sky
Its naked truth, far from my eye

We could breathe without care
The water was a new air
It was the next frontier
There wasn't anything to fear

I think I've had it up to here

Now I, I'll stay up late
And I, still can't shoot straight
It's not that I won't wait
But I won't wait
