DESCRIPTION:
i been hanging round this girl & she wanted to date, i liked her just fine but boy i loved to fuck her
met her at a party when the cops rolled up she asked me to come home so i jumped in her truck
we kicked up all the gravel on the way to her door, wasnt five minutes fore my clothes were on the floor
id been hitting up the bottle since the sun went down & i was willing for whomever was around.

anyway its nice knowing theres a pretty girl on the other end of all my long winded letters that i scribble, that i scrabble, that i score from the road

it was getting pretty heavy so i proposed a plan
said id like to try it out being yr girlfriend
she knew how to drink from the bottom of the shelf
she could make em laugh until they pissed themselves
i figured if we can settle for this drag of a town
if we can settle for friends who aint around
if we can settle for disappointment, then we can learn to settle for this

she was a mess & i was a mess, i thought itd be a good idea to get wrecked together
but when i came home i was feeling much better so i packed my things & left her

there is this boy who i find sweet, sometimes i crawl under his covers late at night
we dont fuck, we barely speak, he just wraps me in his arms real tight
& when he breathes on the back of my neck, when he brushes my skin by accident
oh lord it feels good to know ive got my patience back

weve got pills to ease our pain, weve got bodies to hush our lonlieness
with enough of the two i think were gonna make it through alright
we can get naked together, take dirty naps, whatever
but so long as we suffer apart from one another
you can hold my hand but you can never hold my heart

we can lie to all our friends, call in sick or whatever
but so long as we suffer apart from one another
you can hold my hand, but you can never hold my heart.
