Canals

Lyrics for Canals

I am a critic Of my own critical need to define myself With wine, and words, and lovers And friends who don't understand So there, I just said it You know that admitting the problem is the first step towards repair "We all recover," say the friends turned to wine-drunk lovers Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye You are so misleading A kiss or a gun fight High-noon or midnight Darling, I don't wanna know If I'm just a short sight on a cold night The canals are freezing So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye Am I a villain Cast among heroes with all of their Underwhelming, overbearing struggles To become what they'll never be? Friends to the wicked Caution is calling, but nobody's home The lights are off, the party's over Now you're stuck plucking three-leaf clovers Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye You are so misleading A kiss or a gun fight High-noon or midnight Darling, I don't wanna know If I'm just a short sight on a cold night The canals are freezing So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye You've got the high ground And I'm on my best defense But I dare you to come down I'll give you an eye for an eye If it makes things easy Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye You are so misleading A kiss or a gun fight High-noon or midnight Darling, I don't wanna know If I'm just a short sight on a cold night The canals are freezing So tell me I'm alright with a goodbye Smile, tell me I'm alright with a goodbye
