Come Up Short Songtext
von Kevin Garrett

Not long ago you saw your picture in my wallet
I fumbled the bills to keep it hidden
You said stop it... why?
I wanna run
But don′t know how you keep on worrying
I'm in your back pocket
Take me out when out when you get curious
I don′t wanna start again
Why do we always come up short
When you fold my world
I barely can breathe
Still trapped in the crease
You're wearing out the metaphor
It's so many words
Just say what you mean
Just say it to me.
We′ve come to talk
Why wont your lips move an inch?
And what′s a light without a crack to let it in?
I will be damned if you aren't something I don′t miss


And I don't ever fall again
Is it worth the fight?
We′re losing light with every move I make
Just wasting time
Deciding where we both can pass the blame
Well it all still feels so strange.
So figure it out
But you know you can't make me wait too long
And I′m too afraid
I wont have something to fall back upon
When everything else goes wrong
Why do we always come up short?
When you fold my world I barely can breathe
Still trapped in the crease
You're wearing out the metaphor
It's so many words just
Say what you mean
Just say it to me
I worked too hard to think that you won′t exist,
But it doesn′t take much
To make me feel like I will slip up
I will be damned if you aren't something I don′t miss
And I dont ever fall again
Grow up and talk
Why wont your lips move an inch
Was I such a fool to write your letter on my wrist?
And I will be damned
If you aren't something I don′t miss
And I don't ever fall again
