I see the light in your eyes
It's getting dimmer every day
I feel the bitter cut of your tongue, so lacking in its grace
And the sadness on your tattooed face
It seems to me, my dear
When we are face to face
The truth is a rare prey
No matter how many tears
Are locked up inside you like pounding fear
And contrary to desire, like the reverse of me and you
Time never comes back
And leaves us nothing, nothing left to pursue
Chorus:
Da da da dat dat da dat da da dat da da
Turn off the waterworks, baby
They don't move me no more
You've got my boots but I'm already
Standing outside your door
And there's nothing left that we can repair anymore
It's good that I remembered, before you forget
I gave you my heart, but you wanted my head
And there's nothing, nothing we don't deserve
And contrary to desire, like the reverse of me and you
Time never comes back
And leaves us nothing, nothing left to pursue
Chorus
Now there's a knucklehead, I had it painted red
Standing alone in the yard
We won't be riding together no more, girl
Believe me, I take it hard
And contrary to desire, like the reverse of me and you
Time never comes back
And leaves us nothing, nothing left to pursue
