The story goes I'm only out tonight to find a body
She's heard it all before,
I'm told she don't feel anybody
But I love a challenge,
and she likes a fistfight
My cards are on the table,
ain't just idle conversation About the past,
I know that she won't tell if I don't ask
I thought I was winning,
when she was halfway to running me down
I
always choke first,
but who's got it worse Tread softly on these dreams,
she's so scared
to get hurt
But I'll drown in the deep before I live
my life in shallow waters So damn the details when I'm leaving town
Tomorrow morning,
then she said to me that She's 23 and there's no master plan
She just needs a friend
She keeps her uncle's hunting knife beside the driver's seat
She'll blame it all on God,
the state,
her mom,
the people's army
It's just a reflection,
a dashboard confession
I always talk first,
but who's got it worse Tread softly on these dreams,
she's so scared to get hurt
But I'll drown in the deep before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I'm leaving town Tomorrow morning,
then she said to me that
She's 23 and there's no master plan She just needs a friend
Through her perfectly flawed design In this big picture,
where'd you draw your line?
And oh, I'll
drown in the deep before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I'm leaving town Tomorrow morning,
then she said to me that
She's 23 and there's no master plan When
building up means breaking down again
She don't want sympathy or pretend to be sad
To get in the end, she just needs a friend
