I got piss poor life skills
for a grown-ass man
honey I aint as tall
as you think I am
quiet desperation throwing 'round its weight
got me dancing a side-step shuffle
down this load bearing plank
time waits for no one
every man got needs
there's somebody else
that I have to be
quiet desperation loosing its restraint
floating on the surface tension
held taut behind her face
I suppose I should have seen it coming
how could I know it would be as sweet as this
every pause and mis-step
have brought me here
every finish line
don't bring only cheer
quiet desperation got nothing left to say
I hear between the lines
crawling 'round the page
I suppose I should have seen it coming
how could I know it would be as sweet as this
