Loose Change

(Album: Talking Through Tin Cans - 2008)

Be my mirror, show me what I can change
Don't go, I know that you know
Don't let me down softly

Well, this all happened on a sunny day
You still couldn't see it when it was just a half an inch away
Staring you right in the face saying
"Why can't you just say what you mean?
Why can't you say what you mean, baby?"

Shuffling sideways
There's no way to get home
You're so slippery, frozen, ice cold, alone

Now I see that you're expression has changed
Are you wishing you saved my place?
You're standing on the ocean floor
Wondering what you could have said before
But why can't you just say what you mean?
Why can't you say what you mean, baby?

Well I've been working too many hours
Only for your loose change
The place is messy, complicated
And it only gets you back out
And I want out
Why can't you just say what you mean?
Why can't you say what you mean?
Why can't you say what you mean, baby?
