lyrics

I'm a fan of rearview mirrors so I can see what I've passed, but
You haven't popped up for a while.
You always said that things would get better, I guess I still believe you,
I guess I still hear your voice and see your smile.

Cut off the circulation so I don't bleed you out just yet.
Fasten the tourniquet so I don't have to forget.

You live life polarized, and I am far too moderate, yeah,
Oil and water won't mix.
All the king's horses and all of his men told me
Add us to the list of things you won't fix.

Cut off the circulation so I don't bleed you out just yet.
Fasten the tourniquet so I don't have to forget.

The world tried to bury you and I dug you up every time,
You know that I meant every word I said.
I think you like to play the damsel in distress, but, boy,
I'd like to be the woman again.
