It hurts sometime Not all of the time, but most of the time Splitting the difference between how it fucked you And how its fucked up Well it hurts sometimes Out on the school yard, on local TV They're saying his name, you're biting your tongue And in the glass trophy case His photo shines down When he took his own life Was he thinking of you with regret? Cause how touched you, they don't know

Well I saw you on that July night It was a truck stop, it was a red light A few miles from I-57 And I felt so pretty So climbed on to your wheeler You took me on the road, you took me up north Spent the night in a motel on the boarder of Kansas and Oklahoma I felt so pretty

All the way from Mercer County to jail You held my hand You made me feel like I wasn't going away for two years Or thirteen months with good behavior You made me feel... You made me think, remember that night We took a picnic blanker down the dirt path by your house You made me feel like nothing in life could ever hurt me Or there was a god or someone above me Saying "Hey Clair, its okay" But not now that don't feel real... But your hand on the drive from Mercy County Up to the next County's jail Well that feels real

You met him online on a D&D forum Played a few campaigns and you sorta got to know him Commenting lead to messaging each other Talking about your lives and then one thing lead to another Started sending pics and having phone sex Its not the romance of the century but it feels nice Few weeks in asked if he'd like to see you To your surprise he replied that he'd love to You drove out watched the wheels hit the tarmac He's not a real looker but he sure makes you feel nice Three days in that you told him about your father First guy that you told who didn't make you feel like a bother He listened to you cry and he held you so tight Always sorta knew you'd get married that night

When I see my coworkers in the elevator I wanna die on the Park Street escalator Same stupid smile every day Every day and every day and every day Focus on your friends you’ll feel okay for a while Try not to feel bad your band is not as good as Pile There’s no sold out shows on the horizon Just whatever bills you’ll scrape together at O’Brien’s When I see my coworkers in the elevator (its four block hop from my apartment to the Davis stop) When I see my coworkers in the elevator I wanna die Focus on your friends you’ll feel okay for a while Try not to feel bad your band is not as good as Pile There’s no sold out shows on the horizon Just whatever bills you’ll scrape together at O’Brien’s

Walking out of Mariposa behind a stranger His hips moved so softly, he walked so smoothly I trailed him by half a block, just to see the way he walked I trailed him by at least a block, just to see the way he walked And I wanna be so delicate I wanna be that smooth I wanna be so graceful When I move But I am looming and I am loamy I kick the dirt and concrete In indiscriminate brute force because my body is the bull And everything’s the China shop Oh I wanna be graceful I wanna be delicate Oh I wanna be graceful I wanna be feminine But my body is the bull And everything’s China shop
