Stoned over Sunday but back on the mend
Took the corners too fast, almost lost my head
Even if I get home, I’ll be too blurred to talk
Speaking in jagged loose lipped refrain
Whispering old poems but changing the names
Each time that I stutter they shout out in awe
Each time that I stutter they all sing along
Things not lining up
It’s never enough
So I grabbed the rope and I pulled us ashore
Down in the town, gave a knock on her door
And when she came to meet me I was drenched from the storm
I could hear in her voice that she wanted to try
But couldn’t get past all the times that I’d lied
And when she shut the door, it’s like she opened my mind
Things not lining up
Things not lining up
It’s never enough
Get your names mixed up
Get your nicknames messed up
I just can’t keep up
On my knees in the heat I had a broken axle
And I waited for days by the side of the road
Sleeping in my old musty truck
When the part finally came it had started to rain
And we drove through the spray and were quiet all day
And I could tell that he was happy by the way his ears lay
Oh if I were happy
Things not lining up
Things not lining up
It’s never enough
Get your names mixed up
Get your nicknames messed up
I just can’t keep up
