about

The second single from Carli Naff's debut EP, Horrible Talker.

lyrics

When I wear your hat I'm your sweetheart
If only just for tonight
But if you'd have me take it home to keep my ears warm
Then maybe I've got you a little while longer

But who knows what tomorrow brings
And we've both got a lot of things to do

And maybe we're playing with lines that we drew
But baby the way that you
Press one hand to my stomach, and one to my back
And you turn my whole body sideways, you're an acrobat
As Jackson Browne plays, you pick me up off the floor
But then you call me baby, and I don't know what for

I realize it's the name that you gave to the woman before
And the woman before

When I sing your songs, I'm your muse
And we wanna make that last
So I'll try not to take care of you,
And anyway, you're growing up so fast

So who knows what tomorrow brings
We keep finding more and more things to do

And you know that it's my greatest fear to look like the fool
But baby the way that you
Place one hand on my shoulder, and one on my back
And you help me turn upside down so I am the acrobat,
I'm light as a feather, and stiff as a board
So when you tell me you're grateful, I try to ignore

That my brain and my body are fighting a war
Fighting a war
