Bobby Pins
A bobby pin, a silhouette, cold sweat and tears are all the memoirs on my floor.
They remind me of you, the things you always do
that make me want you even more.
That make me want you even more.
Standing on guard for a far-eyed girl I thought that I once knew.
I want to shelter you, but I get the clue,
and arms empty can't keep you from harm.
And arms empty can't keep you from harm.
I still think of you, just like I always do, walking back through the door.
Who would have thought, a bobby pin you dropped,
the sharpest knife that's in the drawer.
The sharpest knife that's in the drawer.
If honesty meant a thing at all, it'd fall somewhere between life and death
and if it is me, between points A and B,
I lay here, the truth, empty and at rest.
I lay here, the truth, empty and at rest.
