Each time I look away
I know just what to say
The shade of blue that you've been painting me
Don't go with honesty
So here's to being free
Back to the thing you said
I'm not too in my head
If no one knows the place I've gotta go
The face I've gotta show
Why should I tell them so
I know you love the tradition of it all
Dad knows the weather, Mom knows Paul
I start the monologue when times get hard
Wearing my words out, waiting for your cards
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
The path into your head
Is through the book I haven't read
But as we spin, the thoughts turn into hours
You say the future's ours
But I don't want the power
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
Girl you know, I know you see
It will take hard hard times to get over me
