lyrics
Believe it or not here I come from the spiral bound
histories that I have tried to keep.
But I was so distracted by what I was sure was happening
that I might as well have been asleep.
She said, "You take all the fun out of being reckless;
you take all the danger out of me;
you take all the shine out of my necklace.
You take all you want, not all you need.
I know that you're not in command
of this fleet that's in my bay or the javelin in your hand,
but I'm trying to surrender to you, I'm trying to surrender to you,
just tell me what to do."
She'll be glad to learn that for once I held my tongue
and when I dropped it shattered all across the floor.
Now I just try to sink through all the lovely conversation,
all the ills and agitations all the pomp and silent wars.
No more, 'Tell me about the night that you fell in love with me,'
swap statistics get our stories straight, so everyone can believe
that someone will keep you from feeling lonely
that someone has just right tools.
Goddamn you for making me believe that someone has just the right tools.
I know that you're not in command
of this fleet that's in my bay or the javelin in your hand,
but I'm trying to surrender to you,
I'm trying to surrender to you.
just tell me what to do,
just tell me what to do.
