lyrics

These days I can’t help feeling like a shell of my old self
Like some backward evolution turned me into someone else
And would you believe I can’t stand being downtown anymore
There’s some memory of her lives in every doorway

From what I gather her heart’s a fluid, ever-moving part
Because every time I reached for it, it’d skip a little farther
And somewhere in her mind it may have seemed a simple ask
A love brand new out of the box without a past

She said I’ve seen the good in you
I’ve seen the best that you can do
When you elect to do your best
When circumstances call for it
Oh baby won’t you do better for me

And I haven’t any use for February, end it please
We would sit and we’d play cards in her apartment and we’d freeze
And it made no sense to me why she refused to let me go
That night she chased me outside barefoot in the snow

Now I picture early April when the snow begins to melt
And I picture her descriptions of how terrible she felt
In a twenty-two page letter with a name but no address
Just to put some context on me at my best

She said I’ve seen the good in you
I’ve seen the best that you can do
When you elect to do your best
When circumstances call for it
Oh baby won’t you do better for me
Baby won’t you do better for me, please
