Lyrics

[Verse 1] Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone A little more stupid, a little more scared Every minute, more unprepared I made a mistake in my life today Everything I love gets lost in the drawers I want to start over, I want to be winning Way out of sync from the beginning [Chorus] I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you And crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God, I'm very, very frightened I'll overdo it [Verse 2] Looking for somewhere to stand and stay I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away Can I get a minute of not being nervous And not thinking of my dick? My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in You could drive a car through my head in five minutes From one side of it to the other [Chorus] I wanna hurry home to you Put on a slow, dumb show for you And crack you up So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain God, I'm very, very frightened I'll overdo it [Outro] You know I dreamed about you For twenty-nine years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for, for twenty-nine years You know I dreamed about you For twenty-nine years before I saw you You know I dreamed about you I missed you for, for twenty-nine years
