Nonfiction (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

I don't know my telephone number

But you kiss good and I'd like to see you tomorrow

I don't beg, babe, I pay, I don't barter

And if I had a child, I'd like a son, not a daughter, oh no

'Cause she'd be just like you

Someday, before I believe it

Oh, we would believe the same as I do

Yes, I do

[Verse 2]

Now, I'm no builder and I'm no gardener

I'm singing songs as a friend who's a photographer

There is no other language that I speak

Some like their water shallow, while I like it deep

So deep

Yeah, baby, tied to the very bottom

With a noose all around my feet

[Chorus]

Well, the clouds conspire

Above my head

I overheard them

Say, "I wish he was dead"

Today the sunset

Well, it burned my eyes

In the next room

I hear someone cry

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

The clouds conspire

Above my head

I overheard them

Say, "I wish he was dead"

Today the sunset

It burned my eyes

In the next room

I hear someone cry

[Verse 4]

I like to dress up like the jury

To eat like a king, to poke fun at the clergy

To talk like dirt, to love you like tar

But never fall in too fast with my, my north star

No, no, no

All this time, you pull your hair out

Why, why, why, I rather drink as some fun

[Chorus]

The clouds conspire

Above my head

I overheard them

Say, "I wish he was dead"

Today the sunset

It burned my eyes

In the next room

I hear someone cry
