Mother Wound (duet) Songtext
It was our third date and we were in the park
It was a Tuesday in the middle of March
I said the wrong thing, I knew it in my heart, I guess
I read your fortune, I saw the mother wound
You lit a cigarette, then we were in my room
You took my clothes off, I was in debt to you again
I should've known that was no way to start a conversation
Loving you lowered my expectations
Loving you lowered my expectations
It was a Tuesday in the middle of March
I said the wrong thing, I knew it in my heart, I guess
I read your fortune, I saw the mother wound
You lit a cigarette, then we were in my room
You took my clothes off, I was in debt to you again
I should've known that was no way to start a conversation
Loving you lowered my expectations
Loving you lowered my expectations
I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
Loving me went from a high worth chasing
To something lower than your expectations
It was in April, I was falling free
You were red, white, blue, I was forest green
But I was in love, babe, you were in awe of me, back then
It was a mystery, the decay of it
How you could worship at my lips and then call yourself an atheist
Well, sometimes that's just the way it is, at least I got a record, babe
And you just got away with it
I should've known that was no way to start a conversation
Loving you lowered my expectations
Loving you lowered my expectations
I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
Loving me went from a high worth chasing
Loving me went from a rule worth breaking
Loving me went from a life worth saving
To something lower than your expectations
Loving me went from a high worth chasing
To something lower than your expectations
It was in April, I was falling free
You were red, white, blue, I was forest green
But I was in love, babe, you were in awe of me, back then
It was a mystery, the decay of it
How you could worship at my lips and then call yourself an atheist
Well, sometimes that's just the way it is, at least I got a record, babe
And you just got away with it
I should've known that was no way to start a conversation
Loving you lowered my expectations
Loving you lowered my expectations
I should've shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
Loving me went from a high worth chasing
Loving me went from a rule worth breaking
Loving me went from a life worth saving
To something lower than your expectations
