Jersey Water - Peter Blakley Lyrics

So we'll make do with what we got
An old photo of Peter in the back of a pickup truck
Got the signs, the tambourines, the rowdy lovers in the street
Who wish the rain on their cheeks were tears
Cause it's true love, honey
If there were curtains they'd be blowing in the wind
Cause it's true love, honey
If there was a window there'd be a place for us to sing

Well, if all's not right then why's it feel so good
To watch you, babe, while you undress
The sun's gone to the other side of the sky
It's not coming back for anything
Not even to describe your face once more
It's so sad

So as often as lightning
As comforting as cars can be when they're your only soft goodnight
And I understand the ways the mean guitars are played
By the hardcore kids all right
Cause the world don't know what's right for us
Said it's tearing at your skin
The world don't know what's right
It never knew you like I did

It's a fine place to go when you're not going to bed
And it's all in our heads anyway
So we count our loves and we count our hates
You're in the mirror now, so in debt
Stroking your fate once more
It's so sad

I walked to the lake and back
I'm trying not to let it show
It's a path that can take me from where I am
To where I wanna go
