lyrics

Sun is out, the ice has thawed
It's almost summertime
The girls have shed their winter shells
And it's true they're looking fine

But they're trying too hard, they're trying too hard
Their chests puffed out, never letting down their guard
I sure don't miss that scene I left behind

I hear the siren's call that leads the sailors astray
But I spent so long trying to build this up
I can't just throw it away

Show me around the town to beat
Maybe the site of my defeat
Maybe the weight of all the years
Maybe the thighs brushing my ears

Getting wise, I recognize
There aren't such rigid lines
But you can't just turn around and say
"Oh I just plain changed my mind"

But it's so fucking hard, it's so fucking hard
To twist this game, trying not to show my cards
I don't know if I'll ever get it right

We have the lives we live inside
And the ones that we put on display
But I made a choice many years go
I can't just throw it away, no I won't just throw it away

We're supposed to put childish things aside
And just let life get in the way
But I spent my days chasing this old dream
I can't just throw it away, no I won't just throw it away.
