lyrics

You like just one type of rose
I pluck ‘em from a thornbush in the country
I buy ‘em at a country store
We laid in the field off your warped little road
I felt like a fish on your line

You used to stroll home at nine, and I’d unplug the whole house
Like we suddenly could pretend “Hey, we’re alone now”
With the weathervane pulled hard to the right

Come on baby, why don’t you do it?
We can make it all alright, we can stare right through it
It’s not a lover, it’s not a postcard, it’s not a sign

Trust me, there’s not much to know
Might’ve looked fun in the photos, but I hardly saw the show
Lately I freeze like there’s nowhere to go
Maybe a better man would just try

And I play it straight ‘cause I’m on their dime
And then it wells up in me
That maybe I’d been too quick to post the listing
That the weathervane had pulled hard to the right

CHORUS

They say I played it with too much heart
Empty conviction, bow over the bridge, not looking the part
And they say “You aren’t willing to do what it takes for the art”
And I say “What? You mean dress up and frown?”

So if this bar’s closing down, I better cash my chips out
Might as well pretend I’m missed or I lost those old doubts
That I finally found a way to rig the fight

CHORUS

And I didn’t know I had it
‘Til it got ugly with time
It’s not a lover, it’s not a postcard, it’s not a sign
