Lyrics

Pioneer boys and motel floors
Time to start my [/?Thomas dyed my] hair as I spoke in drunken slurs

[Nowhere is][/Noah’s] home and all[/nothing] feels right
without a one pound[/brown] bottle
And you by my side
But that’s not quite the case tonight

Beachside [big sad?][/bid] songs
[hear the][/near the] violin

Under the boardwalk
[I bruise my shins]
from taking one too many risks

But I am a paradox
A system do’s and do not’s
so weigh[/wait][/wake] me out
like a scale of [pounds][/powers]
like the symmetry of a king’s crown

Balance me out
Baby balance me out
Balance me out
Balance me out

The crickets’ chirp kept me awake
we left in the morning
but it’s song stayed with me for days

Bedroom songs with your sister near
She held the camera lens
and good[/gave] listening ears
and provided beds for eight

Good old boys from the state[/estate] next door
with six good hearts growing
straight from the core
they showed me what good people are for

But we
we shaped and moulded [/modeled it]
a sculpture that’s worth taking care of
But I
must say you just can’t replace
a stone so pure and so tough

So I’ll[/I] hold you near
Like a [happy tear][/puppeteer]
But[/that] feels better each and every time
Darling every time
Almost every time
Every time
Every time


This song appears as track 5 on Courtney’s third album For One I Knew
