cutting it close

Iron & Wine

Long-lost friend of mine
I know we only fucked a couple of times
Love owes nothing to us
Nobody s perfect or as dumb as their luck
Kissing this, kissing that
I m kissing anybody kissing me back
Time likes pulling my teeth
I never knew how many teeth I would need
So it goes and it goes
It doesn t matter but it s cutting it close

Anyway, life is long (life is so long)
Could be a little longer don t get me wrong
And its lights won t leave me alone
Crooked fingers keep pointing me home
Going here, going there (I guess we re going there)
I m leaving heaven but I couldn t say where
Love keeps ringing a bell
Clear water for the well in myself
Or just a hand for the glove
It doesn t matter til it totally does
(It doesn t matter til it totally does)

Miracles never cease
Depending on which ones you believe
I ve stopped holding my breath
People are passing out hoping for less
Anyway, how you been
Look at everybody twist in the wind
Time just does what it does
I only wish it wouldn t do it to us
