lyrics

If you get this letter from someone better, don’t blame me.
Honestly, there’s more that I would say, but not today, for I am afraid of a court-martial date
and a visit from the captain. I’ll tell him all about it.
“I want her to know something of me so when she visits those other boys
she’ll have the clearest choice. She’ll love me so.”
I want her to know
that playing war is all right until it’s for keeps.

I just don’t know what I want to mean.
All of these words tied up inside of me.
Cooing, coughing, stillborn and stuttering.
All that to say, let’s just leave it be.

Can you believe this weather? It’s never been better. It’s hardly sober, he’s stumbling all over, spending that money I make.
I give, I give, he takes and takes. Well, I love him so I’ll let him know he’s playing war against himself and against me.

I just don’t know what I want to mean.
All of these words tied up inside of me.
Cooing, coughing, stillborn and stuttering.
All that to say, let’s just leave it be.
