Gallic Shrug

The sun set in vain

Because it found us today feeling the same

Cold and closed to love

And one foot in the past

And one right in tomorrow's grasp

Baby, we're just pissing on our gloves

You don't know just how hard it is to watch

Go to sleep and your pain punches the clock

Maybe we're both blue

Or even worse just two people who

Have too many yesterdays

The silence talks back at you

The window's open just laughing at you

And the words bleed out on the page

And once you're gone, there's no way out

Like the cork stabbed into your wine bottle's mouth

When I go away, you won't hear a sound

Over all of the bridges burned in your hometown

It's breaking me down

It's breaking me down

You play a game only you can win

My key is bent your lock won't open

And if this ain't proof

Man is indiscreet

Why is heartache outside, doing pushups in the street?

After one last round

After one last round

You're lookin' to the sky for love

And all you get is a Gallic shrug

And if this ain't proof

Man is indiscreet

Why is heartache outside, doing pushups in the street?

After one last round

After one last round

The bartender just shrugs you off

But I will love you until the cows come home
