Moonlight hosts refrains unknown
And my porch swinging out of time
And the light above my head
Is sure to burn out, it started dying
These are complicated times
For the understanding blind
And every word I thought might change your mind
Was choking me
On the fence you were born unsure
Which way your gate swings
And you knew right then like you know today
You didn't have the guts to say
With one hand on your eyes
Yeah, the other on my thigh
And every word I thought might change your mind
Was chokin' me
Blessed and frayed, I shouldn't waste time
Lick it shut before I lose my guts
Or I might rip it to tiny pieces
Off of my tongue and through my pen
The ink flowed steadily in red
Did you think too much, lose too much
Did you go a little far?
I couldn't help myself to you
More different than we knew
And every word I thought I should have said
Was chokin' me
Blessed and frayed, I shouldn't waste time
Lick it shut before I lose my guts
Or I might rip it to tiny pieces
Walked on nails before
I'm walkin' again, you know my skin
You turn your back and run
When it gets too sharp, this fool's known to stand
Moonlight hosts refrains unknown
And my porch swinging out of time
And the light above my head is sure to burn out, it started dying
These are complicated times
More difficult when they're mine
And every word I thought I should have said
Was chokin' me
Blessed and frayed I shouldn't waste time
Lick it shut before I lose my guts
Or I might rip it to tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
Tiny pieces
