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
