For my girl

Rilo Kiley - 85

I’m just of real sad folk and
‘85 was our best year and
She says it gets much worse
‘Fore it gets any better

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means I
Wonder why it doesn’t keep her up at night
Like it does me

We talk the way you do and
I have a sweet or two for
My only plus you say
They’re getting bigger everyday

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means I
Wonder why it doesn’t keep him up at night
Like it does me

I’ll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I’ll be in your car
For now

“You wanna fool around?” I ask
I get a sour reply
From the other wheel that always
Rises to the occasion

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means I
Wonder why it doesn’t keep you up at night

I’ll be in your car
I locked the keys in your car
I’ll be in your car
For now

I’ve been a mess for some time
Now I get what I deserve
For someone who leaves behind a life
I can’t do better

So I take it with a grain of salt
For the other means I
Wonder why it doesn’t keep you up at night
Up at night
Up at night
Up at night
Like it does me

Next: Pilate
