Lower My Gun

lower my gun

Jay Brannan

well, you're just across the table, but we're worlds apart

looking back now, it's clear that we weren't so smart

but you found the lover inside this fighter

and we found god inside a kick ass one nighter

but that was long ago, and I owe you money

but business is slow, sounds kinda funny

hey there you go calling me honey

though I think you know you'll never see me again

in the same old house, two different people

same drops of blood still light the path

to what used to be us hanging in the hallway

now just shreds of paper and shards of glass

well, I'm not in the business of bursting bubbles

but blowing you now takes more gum than I can chew

well, don't press your luck unless you want a pity ****

but I think that'd be the wrong way to hold on to yesterday

was long ago, and I owe you money

but business is slow, sounds kinda funny

hey there you go calling me honey

though I think you know you'll never see me again

in the same old house, two different people

same drops of blood still light the path

to what used to be us hanging in the hallway

now just shreds of paper and shards of glass

when you burst through the gate, I stood up straight

you poured some wine, I drank yours and mine

you took my breath and tied up my tongue

yeah, you were the one to lower my gun

you were the one to lower my gun

you were the one to lower my gun

but that was long ago, and I owe you money

but business is slow, sounds kinda funny

hey there you go calling me honey

though I think you know you'll never see me again
