House That Sailed Away

I'm taking leaps between this year and last
Been a full spin, came around so fast
Nobody told me that this was the hard part
Wasting away cooking meals for a sore heart
And nobody said you'd still bring me flowers
You're pretty strong for someone with no power
And nobody asked the time or the day
That you left, that you sailed away

She learned to talk before you
Have you still got nothing to say?

Show me, show me
Show me how to be your man
Won't you show me, show me?
Show me how to be your man

I'm making friends, I like what I offer
It's been touch and go but I'm ready to push
Nobody asked you to prove you're a monster
A bump in the night was never much to ask for
It's hard to pull back 'cause you always remember
At least you're intact, at least you surrendered
And nobody said I'd be gone with the water
But it could be worse, at least that's what you taught her

She learned to talk before you
But you've still got nothing to say

Show me, show me
Show me how to be your man
Won't you show me, show me?
Show me how to be your man
Won't you show me, show me?
Show me how to be your man
Won't you show me, show me?
Show me how to be your man

Was it not enough to move? Had you more left to prove?
I've said prayers and prayers that things would improve
I'd laid all of the stones too big to dig up
But you sold the land anyway
Bought a house to sail away
Well, you've been around, but you always come back
Your feet hit the ground and there's something you lack
You'll search forever, I want that for you
You're addicted to that something new
I want that for you
That something new
Borrowed and blue

I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
I want that for you
