Outside Villanova

Album: Sounds Like This (2008)

  • And now I'm trying to decide if I feel dirty at all
    Cause it gets hard to tell
    It's never just black and white she's got a mind of her own
    And she uses it well

    So she invites me over outside villanova
    She's got some pull-out sofa that we won't hardly need
    She is only drinking soda revving up that motor
    Got places we could go to but I still won't believe

    That she's only gifted
    When I'm standing by her side
    She goes unassisted
    And I start to relax as I cut her some slack

    [Chorus]
    So get up I gotta go to work
    Facing all these people who now know I'm a jerk
    And it's a set-up I gotta change my clothes
    Concealing all this evidence before everybody knows
    What I've done and what I'm gonna do ?again

    And in the middle of the night I have a breakdown of sorts
    With regret creeping in
    She's gonna put up a fight and she will get her way
    Cause she loves sleeping in

    So I need someone to side with when she begins confiding
    And I cannot provide it cause I'm endlessly cold
    She says she's so excited to play some groom and bride
    With me but I'm undecided so I need to be told

    That she's only sinking
    When I'm sleeping by her side
    With a change of thinking
    I could pull us away even just for a day

    [Chorus]

    She grows impatient to change my tune
    She's geting older and legal soon
    And I wasn't ready to start out and go upsetting
    Some girl that I'd be forgetting
    By the time the cops came by that afternoon
    And I try to decide as she pulls me aside

    [Chorus] Writer/s: ERIC MARTIN HUTCHINSON
