Among Other Foolish Things

Lily I don't know how to start this letter

I'm writing you from the beach where I'm living

I got a disco outside of my window

I love all these kids but the good times are killing me

I got a picture of you on the dashboard

So I can feel like you're watching right over me

I hope someday you're gonna move to the city

Cause the lights in this town they don't brighten up anything

And they say such foolish things like love love love love is all you need

But everything inside is saying 'danger baby love's gonna leave'

So I played your sympathy have mercy on me

Cause I been hurt I been stung by the good name of love 'til

I threw my own heart in the sea

Among other foolish things

And I don't mind the nights and the low light

We spin 'round like records in the apartment

You still remind me of Marianne Faithfull

Looking like a picture taken outta the '60 s

And we say such foolish things like 'love love love love is all we need'

But everything inside is saying danger baby love's gonna leave

So I played your sympathy be patient with me

Cause I been hurt I been stung by the good name of love 'til

I threw my own heart in the sea

Among other foolish things

And we believe such foolish things like 'love love love love is all we need'

And living would be easy if we never ever had to bleed

And I've taken a dive on a smoky set of lies

I been so deceived and I've been the one lying

And there was this one time when I painted a masterpiece

Among other foolish things
