Work Out

Well there's two sides
To my tail lights
And they both don't work right
And there's a motel
On the highway
And a hundred miles out-side
Of Nashville
And I still don't
Know when I can come home
But I promised
I would try so
I might be a coward

Well the first cut
Was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the next one
Was a soft touch
But it bled out below
We were a team
Till you're toxic
I mean you talk shit, often
But once upon a time
We were in love

Well there's two sides
To a fair fight
And you're the third man out
I was hopeful
With a slow hand
And I got gunned down
Well you asked me
If I could grow up
But I don't know why
For I don't know much
I'm a palm frond
Dying on the front porch

Well the first cut
Was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the last one
Was a clean hit
But I bled out below
We were a team
'Till you're toxic
I mean you talk shit, often
But once upon a time
We were in love

Know there's two lanes
On a highway
And I passed you by
Thought about calling
But I deleted your number
And we both know why

Truth is when I met you
Well you know you made me cry
And I knew you for a second
You were gone in flashing lights

But since I had one lost one
Oh, at least I said goodbye
What's done is done
It's not enough to describe

When I met you I regret you
If it makes for the longest ride
If I let you stay in my head
Then it's overnight
You like when I sing our songs about us

Well you like when I sing our songs about us in the rain
I exorcise us baby
I'm working out the pain

Well I knew you had a heart
But God I knew just how you were
If I'd have known you I'd have cloned you
Just to see you hurt

Well there's two sides
To a timeline
And they've all got the same arc
When I'm next to you
I can wave to you
Because we're miles apart
Y'know you wrote me
'Bout you changed things
But baby you know me
I don't read a damn thing
Don't ever read a damn thing

Well the first cut
Was the deepest
But it healed up whole
And the last one
Was a clean hit
But I bled out below
We were a team
'Till you're toxic
I mean you talk shit, often
But once upon a time
We were in love

Well there's two lanes
On a highway
And I passed you by
Thought about calling
But I deleted your number
And we both know why
