(James Downham, Mark Smith)
Take a long stroll
Across the back 40
Take an overhaul
Of a dirty memory
Something I once remarked
Will come back to haunt me
And shake the foundations
Of our brand of love
I never found the words to say
The words I said I said in song
I never thought the thoughts to think
The thoughts I thought I thought were wrong
Take it all into your stride
No one ever gets it the first time
Looking back - I'm lilting
I'm unfound - I'm tilting
Where is "safe" - I'm wilting
Steady ground - I'm guilty
Of singing you another song
Make a checklist
Of my daily wishes
I'm the Ace of Spades
And I'm gathering fishes
Something I don't want to see
But it's all around me
The air is a blanket
Alive with the smell of decay
I never find the words to say
The words I say - I say in verse
I never thought I could relate
The truth inside and not rehearse
Take it all into your stride
Loving a liar doesn't make love a lie
Looking back - I'm lilting
I'm unfound - I'm tilting
Where is "true" - I'm wilting
Steady ground - I'm guilty
Of singing you another song
I'll never find the words to say
The words I say, I say you've seen
I'll never take another take
On what you've taken this to mean
Take your best shot at me now
See if you might strike gold in me somehow
Looking back - I'm lilting
I'm unfound - I'm tilting
Where is "love" - I'm wilting
Steady ground - I'm guilty
Of singing you another song
