Something Less
It could have been the weekend smile
Drunk and out of line
It could have been the way I feel
or what I cannot touch
I’ve never been that scared of feeling way too much
Hats off to the things I never said
I’m driving south in the summer heat
I’m saving up a seat
Someone might want to come along,
someone might need a ride
I need a new companion,
I hope she’ll be naked by tonight
Raise your glass to the truth that she does not know
Chorus
I will rise above this need for love
And settle for something less
Then walk on ‘til the feeling’s gone
And take on loneliness
I will call you up at the end of miles
I’ll be begging for a smile
I’ll lose you twice all over again
before she’s getting dressed
I’m headed for the mountains
and maybe I’ll end up somewhere west
Save me something sweet if I come back
