What About

You were not what I needed
Was not drunk, just defeated
So I stayed
And of course, I don’t want you
I just want to hear what you would say

And on my way home
I screamed, “I get it!”
And the sky screamed right back
“So why’d you let it
Do you this way?”

Don’t write me lines
From your still box
All propped on wheels
Worn by exhaust

Clothes line, clothes line
For hearts who share
With the holes to my heart
Like the linen I wear

And all the popular girls they stare
At the hundred and odd
Pounds I bear

So what about me?
Me on top of you
All soft in your ear
Time tested radio tunes

Hey, hey man with the ramblin’ machine
Steady in the place of your memory
On and on and on to stay
Where they don’t duck and roll at the crash of your name

I will grant you a cameo, Baby
With the sound of a stage and the sway of a lady
Of a lady

So what about me?
Me on top of you
All soft in your ears
Time tested radio tunes

You are not what I needed
Was not drunk, just defeated
So I stayed
And of course I don’t want you
I just want to hear what you would say

And on my way home
I screamed, “I get it!”
And the sky screamed back
“So why’d you let it
Do you this way?”

So what about me?
Me on top of you
All soft in your ears
Time tested radio tunes
Time tested radio tunes
Time tested radio tunes
