Figure It Out

The night comes to find you, a flickering bulb The streetlight behind you, a breathing shadow And i never wanted to hold something close until now A siren, a cat fight, a thin clarinet The neighbors reflecting the blue tv set And you got a way of believing the rest will work out I'm sorry I said what I said, I don’t mean it The darkness it scares me to death, but I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out A car horn, a backfire, a bottle of wine Somebody laughing and closing the blinds And I never wanted to get something right until now A heavy door closing, a dog in the yard Chain link and wood rot and rusty old parts And you got a way of convincing my heart to lie down I’m sorry I said what I said, I don't mean it The darkness it scares me to death, but I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out You're walking back home now, I'm watching you go The slope of your shoulders, your breathing shadow And I got a feeling so high I might never come down The night slips behind you, a lit cigarette A junky arranging the leaves for a bed And you got a way of forgiving the trouble I found I'm sorry I said what I said, I don't mean it The darkness it scares me to death, but I’ll figure it out, I’ll figure it out I'll figure it out, I’ll figure it out, I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out
