lyrics

for you i have triple respect
your traits are rubbing off with a ripple effect
but i'm watching you slip through the sieve
and so i can't put more in

i've done the diagrams and gone over the graph
feel like i'm punching the clock at a job i don't have
put down the yoga mat-- we need to chat
here, i'll just close the door in

lauren
see the trestles ablaze
all parts out of place
there's a crack in the wood
at the totem pole's base
is both of us too opaque
to break face face-to-face?

you won me with the wave of the whisk
now save me the task and weld us at the wrists with your wand
i retrace our date at the dune
where the monsoon is roarin'

when you first caught my eye by the canteloupe
i dropped my rye and i wanted to elope
maybe i'll see you out on the road
when the band starts tourin'

lauren
the truffles have turned
we're losing what we earned
there's forces at work
but i'm not too concerned
coz both of us is too well-learned
to risk being burned

everytime you turn your head
or face forward
you find new love--
it's hard to get to know someone
a penultimate pause
the jousting of jaws
a calendar closing its claws

you're in the shallow end now-- can you still feel the wind?
there's an anvil on your chest and you're pinned
my eyes are wet with tears
maybe still a little bit red from the chlorine

lauren
stomach in knots
you're in my thoughts
i could bulldoze you with prose
because i've written you lots
but both of us is us is much to smart
to start up a plot

lauren
