I’m lured in by your eyes and your smile
And I can’t seem to pinpoint just why you beguile me
“Can I get you a beer?” Ok, maybe just one
That’s too much
But a hundred is never enough
And your hair starts to wave
And my eyes are all glazed
Time slips through my body
I know I’m too brave
I don’t know where to start today
I’m holding my fifth in these hands that aren’t mine
Cuz they’re sweating and trembling I know I’m not fine
With another six-pack you glide through the door
And my eyes light up as my head hits the floor
And I’m caged in my ribs and I’m trapped in my skin
And I can’t believe the mess that I’m in
But you dance and you twirl and you jump and you fly
And the millions of eyes that aren’t mine start to cry
I’m too scared
I won’t start today
Your hands pull me up and I’m back in my chair
And the porch spins around and the stars start to stare
And the moon shimmers down to the cold concrete
“Hey girl, can I get you something to eat?”
And my eyes start to fall I can’t take anymore
As my tenth and eleventh clash down to the floor
And my cigarette’s blurred and the sky’s much too bright
But I just can’t afford to fail here tonight
You don’t know
I’ve gotta start today
All the ways you control
All the fear in my soul
All the bars that clash down
All the fast fading sounds
All the light you radiate
All the ways you sedate
All the nerves in my head
All the ways I feel dead
And the shit that I smoke
And I’ll smoke ‘till I croak
And it’s all just for you
I can’t think what I’d do
If you left me here
Thanks to you
I’m alive today
You peel my body from the stone cold floor
You cradle my soul, you warm me to the core
As my eyes look up into yours I just gaze
But I can’t discern you through all the blue haze
And my heart starts to melt
All the things that I’ve felt (for you)
And my body’s acquired a mind of its own
And it wanders around
And it’s back to the ground
For me
But all for you today
