You said things I wouldn't say
Straight to my face, boy
You tossed the egg up
And I found my hands in place, boy

After backing up as far as you could get
Don't you know nobody parts two rivers met?
Don't you know I'm very happy?
You know me well, I'm even happier
I like it, I like it

With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I want to be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing to you

With all of the time in the world to spend it
Wild and unwise, I want to be mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing too
Mesmerizing to you

    One of my favorite songs, from one of my favorite albums. The raw quality of the guitars and vocals serves the raw lyrics perfectly.

    I don't see this as an abusive relationship, just a very one-sided one. His comparitive indifference to her is probably as crushing to her as other types of abuse, though.
