Balladeer

There's a hesitancy to our thing We’re a playin' card deck, missin' a king And it takes somethin’ out of me to be close to you But I won't rule it out yet, unless you want me to Probably see you on Wednesday, anyway In a car with the dashboard lit I swear to God, it's electric shit A sudden heart piercin' the dark I reach over, you put it in park I will take you while I have you And I'm surprised to be here But I don't mind at all I'm a balladeer I can take the fall There's an ache inside my head And it’s you on the timpani, knockin’ 'em dead It’s a dazzling thing Your give-in grin Leftover Pad Thai stuck on your chin I just like gettin' to know you At what point in the chronology Do I make room for you, do you get real for me? Specks of toothpaste on the bathroom mirror Fixatin' or runnin' out of here I don’t need you to be my counselor And I am surprised to be here But I don't mind at all I'm a balladeer I can take the fall And I am surprised to be here But I don't mind at all I'm a balladeer I can take the fall
