I can't begin to compete with you and everyone knows
I know you know it, too.
It's a complicated fear that grows with every year
And it's walking on it's own finally

All I can offer are farmer chords, these simple rhymes
And you painted in words
You can sing this when alone or whistle it through
your teeth
And it will feel like home no matter how far you'll be
From my lonely arms outstretched just beyond your reach
Singing "ooh, baby, please..."

I can't begin to compete with you and everyone knows
I know you know it, too.
It's a complicated fear that grows with every year
And it's walking on it's own finally
