Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got all the parts I wished for
I've got everything I need
Sometimes I'm above water
But mostly I'm at sea
[Verse 2]
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walkin' the dog back
[Verse 3]
It's not like I got hurt or broken
Or ruined on the way
It's an ache and it shines through me
A swallow in a cage
[Verse 4]
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walkin' the dog back
[Verse 5]
Is it a sign, or just a landmine
Or a feeling roamin' free?
It's overtaken me
Gonna hold it till it dries up
Or pocket it for another day
If it's me, I cannot give up
I'd rather that she stayed
[Verse 6]
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walkin' the dog back
[Verse 7]
I got all the parts I've wished for
I got everything I need
Sometimes I'm above water
But mostly I'm at sea
[Verse 8]
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walkin' the dog back
