HIDING MY HAND Lyrics

Called off work and took the metro to your show

Spent a fortune at the Wine Rack for smokes

Stood in the corner and I watched you play alone

Behind all of your friends I didn't know

You sang a song about steel reserves

I felt like I was the only one who heard

You looked right at me when you sang forgiveness

Couldn't help it, it was too much for me to bear

It's getting darker

I'm getting better at hiding my hand

It's getting stranger

I'm getting better at hiding my hand

You're getting lovelier

If I could show you then you'd understand

Summer nights you lie awake and alone

The thrill of life goes ripping through your bones

You hear the skunks and the moon sing along

In every light every shadow finds a home

It's getting crazier

I'm getting better at hiding my hand

It's getting darker

I'm getting better at hiding my hand

If you could know me

The more I dwell on it the less it makes sense

You got me here spending all summer on wet cigarettes,

Broken bottles, and jokes I regret

You never came but I swear I asked you to

You laugh with him so much louder than you have to

Again last night I had that strange dream

Where you were naked throwing roses at me

I've been trying not to oversleep

You've been trying not to run into me

It's getting darker

I'm getting better at hiding my hand

It's getting easier

I'm getting better at hiding my hand

Getting over you

The more I dwell on it the less it makes sense
