willow

I'm like the water when your
ship rolled in that night
Rough on the surface
but you cut through like a knife
And if it was an open-shut case
I never would have known from
the look on your face
Lost in your current
like a priceless wine
The more that you say
the less I know
Wherever you stray I follow
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
Life was a willow
and it bent right to your wind
Head on the pillow
I can feel you sneakin' in
'Cause if you are a mythical thing
Like you were a trophy
or a champion ring
But there was one prize
I'd cheat to win
The more that you say
the less I know
Wherever you stray I follow
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
You know that my train could
take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
Life was a willow
and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time
and time again
Life was a willow
and it bent right to your wind
But I come back stronger
than a '90s trend
Wait for the signal
and I'll meet you after dark
Show me the places
where the others gave you scars
Now this is an open-shut case
I guess I should'a known
from the look on your face
Every bait-and-switch
was a work of art
The more that you say
the less I know
Wherever you stray I follow
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
You know that my train could
take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
The more that you say
the less I know
Wherever you stray I follow
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
You know that my train could
take you home
Anywhere else is hollow
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
Hey that's my man
That's my man
Yeah that's my man
Baby every bait-and-switch was
a work of art
That's my man
Hey that's my man
I'm begging for you
to take my hand
Wreck my plans that's my man
