Josephine

(album: Of Unsound Mind - 2019)

Josephine
Won't you tell me why you're leaving me?
Guess sometimes
Can't describe what you don't know
Is it my candor?
My tender unassuming vibe?
You're right, I'm too kind, I'm too yielding

My blueprint won't fit on your foundation in the ground
I'm not rough enough to sand your corners down
But my mouth still tastes like sawdust

Josephine
You told half a drink ago you were mine
And I'm buying
So can't you pretend?
'Cause I've got the money
It depends on what you feel you're deserving of
I don't cry, but I'll hand-and-knee one tonight

You might be longing for that strong and frantic love
It's barefoot in the garden, it's the kind we all think of
I may be simple, but I'm steady, and I'm right
You'd be safe with me if you'd stay with me
You'd be safe with me if you'd stay with me
You'd be safe with me if you'd stay with me
Josephine
