The Rag Between My Teeth

Having walked my life two years away

Saw her name on the back of a truck.

The letters are fading now,

the paint's graying now,

and covered in mud.

Rubbed off when you open the door.

And I swear I've seen your face before.

And your dark hair, your dark skin,

your dark eyes never let me in.

And I'd know that taste a mile away

a far too familiar sting

Catch your tears in your lap

because it's never going to happen

in eternity

Strangle love with a guitar string

Looking back two years away

Saw her name on the back of a truck

This is the first time,

But it's not the last time

I give up.

On the stage is where it's free.

And I'll scream for what it's worth.

Like a rag between my teeth

Because this is really, really going to hurt.
