Muscles In Your Back

lyrics

If I’m gonna write a love song, I’ll at least make it true. This one doesn’t walk on air like those other songs do and it doesn’t mind my narrow range or the fact I can barely play. All it really needs from me is that I mean what I say. All it really needs is that I mean what I say. If you’re gonna sing me a love song, make ‘em songs I can use. Don’t just stand there looking mad and scared saying “What can I do?” Because, I don’t always know what’s going to help. If I knew, don’t you think I’d just do it myself? Yeah, if I knew, I’d just do it myself. We can live in the world as it is or try to fix on dreams. I know where I want to live and I’d like you on my team. When we’re no longer excited by the shape of each other’s ass, I’d like my hands to know by heart all the muscles in your back. Yeah, I’d like to know by heart all the muscles in your back. I want a love like it looks like the grown-ups do it, but I don’t have a clue and I think it’s time I owned up to it. ‘Cause I’ve said it like “Please don’t leave me alone,” but I’ve heard it said like “I’m glad you’re here. Make yourself at home. Come on in, make yourself at home. I’m glad you’re here. Make yourself at home. Yeah, come on in, make yourself at home.” Make yourself at home.
