So let’s assume you’ve ended up right where you wanna be
You sure surprised us by your choice
Who would’ve thought that he could find the words to hold you sway
With such an uncompelling voice
Baby who knows, nobody knows, maybe you knew and just forgot
Baby who knows, maybe you chose someone because of what they’re not
Baby who knows, baby who knows, baby who knows
We turned a blind eye to the things you didn’t see in him
Hoping he would change what’s wrong
You failed to mention your accepting mediocrity
Met your expectations all along
Baby who knows, nobody knows, maybe you knew and just forgot
Baby who knows, maybe you chose someone because of what they’re not
Baby who knows, baby who knows, baby who knows
Still it’s a comfort to be near you in a smaller way
Those grapes turned sour long ago
Now that I realize the bar for you was set too high
I won’t let disappointment show
So now its come to where the roles have all but been reversed
And complication holds its ground
He’s right for you and yet you feel as though it’s too rehearsed
But could your logic be unsound?
Baby who knows, nobody knows, maybe you knew and just forgot
Baby who knows, maybe you chose someone because of what they’re not
Baby who knows, baby who knows, baby who knows
Baby who knows, baby who knows, baby who knows
Baby who knows, baby who knows, baby who knows

Powerstroke
03:43

An opportunity that landed right in front me, almost like a smack in the face
A big ascending harmony that takes off like a mystery but always winds up in the right place
I could feel it like a thunderbolt, a Brian Wilson powerstroke of genius in an overdriven way
An amalgamated siphoning, a heart attack of timing summing everything you wanted to say
Don’t cry baby, take my hand and come with me
Let me show you, cause I know you
This is all you’ll ever need
It started as a hopefulness, a glimmering -- and I confess -- a sparkle from an older guitar
As Sherwood as a marathoner
Second look and I’m a goner
Wanting just to know who you are
Impurity but nonetheless a miracle of mindfulness
Has prompted sending out of state cards
As earnest as a Valentine
I’m just trying to make you mine
and keep this thing alive from afar
Don’t cry baby, take my hand and come with me
Let me show you, cause I know you
This is all you’ll ever need
You’re the whiskey I was nursing, a blessing and a cursing, a novel from an earlier age
It takes a while before it hits you but I never could resist you
And I’m not about to turn the page
Don’t cry baby, take my hand and come with me
Let me show you, cause I know you
This is all you’ll ever need
Don’t cry baby, take my hand and come with me
Let me show you, cause I know you
And I’m all you’ll ever need
