Clean cold canvas start again
Paint it as you see it, let the light filter in
Ignore the passing footsteps, the dust and my cheap lines

The air is getting heavy, summer sounds settle in
Dragging down the sidewalk, so erudite, so thin
You said to me it’s easy, what’s one little white lie?

I whispered my rebuttal, eyes fixed up in the night
Are you asking for forgiveness or pretending it’s alright?
I took your hand in mine and offered to walk you home

You said…what’s your rush?
This town never wanted us, but go on if you must

There are times that I’ll believe it’s all been a big mistake
We’ll laugh it off and say we wouldn’t have it any other way
And if I never finish what I started out to do
Well, better men than I have given up on you
