lyrics

How 'bout I start with a cliché
"What goes around comes around" I'll say
Pull my hair out to find a rhyme
That I haven't used a thousand times
While you take a stroll across the street
To that little place where you like to eat
You meet a man who lost his mom
Pull out a pen and write a song
I'm not implying that you don't work as hard
It's just in this respect you know I'm not as smart
As you when you do the thing you do
I could spend all day listening to you
See, I'm like the moon and you're the sun
You don't need my help to get shit done

You draw me in and I'm so completely yours
Then you keep me chasing metaphors
I'm blessed beneath the light of you but in turn I appear so dim
Still you draw me in

Now I recall everywhere I've been
And everything I have ever seen
There's not a face that I forget
Not even the faces I regret
But when I sit down to write a song
All of those memories are gone
It's like my mind goes out of town
It's like my voice won't make a sound
I'll take a walk or read a book or watch TV
To try and work some thoughts and feelings out of me
Then I find you wide awake and wired
And I can tell that you're inspired
Yeah, you saw a brightly coloured purse
And damn if you got another verse

You draw me in and I'm so completely yours
Then you keep me chasing metaphors
I'm blessed beneath the light of you but in turn I appear so dim
Still you draw me in

Baby, can I show you what I done
As I bring you over to the bridge
And like a proud papa with his son
You put my messy picture up on the fridge
Baby, can I show you what I done
I wrote this song for you
You love it and you take it to show every one
What this little girl can do
The patience and love you invest in me
Consistently bring out the best in me
Despite how it gets to the rest of me
For you I'd give my all

I know there are better words to use
For what I am trying to say to you
You come into my life and just like that
You find them all in seconds flat

You draw me in and I'm so completely yours
See I am a moth and you're the flame
The closer I get the worse the pain
Then you keep me chasing metaphors
I am the bun and you're the beef
Your words leave me stunned in disbelief
I'm blessed beneath the light of you but in turn I appear so dim
Still you draw me
You draw me
Baby you draw me in
