From the recording When We Were Raw
Lyrics
Were you my twenty o’eight?
I’ll cut to the chase you came too late
If you wanted to be my twenty seventeen
You should have stayed around
My life is harder now
This world’s in a different hour
I won’t be giving myself to any old Joe
This online honeymoon
Was filled with getting to know you well
And I don’t expect a monopoly on your time
Any old girl would want to have you near
But this little girl was crying in her beer
Were you my twenty o’eight?
I’ll cut to the chase you came too late
If you wanted to be my twenty seventeen
You should have stayed around
We shared some common ground
The stars didn’t match us well
But we can build our satellite
Around whatever we call ourselves
I know you were caught between
A rock and the deep blue sea
And all the time I was wondering what the hell you saw in me
Any old girl would know how to be
But this little girl just wanted to believe, I guess you had your reasons
Were you my twenty o’eight?
I’ll cut to the chase you came too late
If you wanted to be my twenty seventeen
You should have stayed around
You should have stayed around
Turn your clock around
