Beat me to the door Lyrics

Beat Me to the Door (M. McDonald)

There was a time when full sentences dominated our conversation
But now we seem so obsessed with shallow abbreviations
And mine and your demeanour ain't seeming very smart
We ought to show forgiveness but can't remember how to star

But it wouldn't take a PhD to enable us to see
We made a real big mess upon our floor
The cliches have got us wired we can't quit because we're fired
Well you didn't leave me baby, you just beat me to the door

There was a time I can recall when love ruled our world
Now we face off with marching drums and battle flags unfurled
And I guess you know me very well you know right where it hurts
It used to be so damned alive but now it's just inert.

Chorus
