Introduce This To Your Parents

(álbum: 52 Weeks - 2009)

I've been counting ways to tell you that this isn't working out in my head
"Is there a problem? You can tell me," she said
But despite my best intentions, what would I say to you now?
With all the "I'm sorry"s that come out your mouth
You've promised me a good time in your town
But I'm not driving that distance just to turn around

So, maybe you should try harder
To begin to try trying less
I swear I'm not this hard to impress

And you're way too funny to give me much less
I'll chalk it up to inexperience
But still, you've kept your mouth shut
The cat's got your tongue
In a fit of apprehension
And I wish I had the courage to say this to your face
You'll forgive me one day
But this song will outlive us both anyway, any day

So, maybe you should try harder
To begin to try trying less
I swear I'm not this hard to impress

So, take this song home with you
'Cause I'll never see it for myself
You can introduce it to your parents
Or frame it on your shelf
