lyrics

I had to hear your voice
It's the time when I most rejoice
I feel fine in your eyes
I don't care if it's not my choice

I made a deal that I will heal
I wonder how that makes my mom feel
I just want to make her happy
She deserves to be happy

I don't know if this song is for me
Petroleum stare returns my energy
I've still got a ways to go
I know I've still got a ways to go

My soul has foreclosed
But it's okay if yours has too
I can't afford to pay tolls
So I drive right on through
The back roads are always nice
This time of year
I'm glad I finally rid myself
Of that desperado fear

I'm not ready for the world you think
But you're the one with the cocktail shrink
Do you still love in the moonlight
You always loved the moonlight

And I pretend that I feel good
I don't think you'd have understood
You were too busy being radiant
How were you always so radiant
And I miss you more than you could know
Memorized your favorite quotes by Thoreau
But I could never talk in graveyards
You always hated seeing graveyards
And we all sing
You deserved to be happy
You deserved to be happy oh well
You deserved to be happy
We deserved to be happy oh well
