lyrics

I write you a really long email more or less once a year
Sometimes it’d get sent, or it’d get deleted in fear
I never wanted to go the way of weirding you out
But I want to reach you and it’s the only open route.
It was like drinking venom when you’ve been bit by a snake
Why not take little more after you’ve had all you can take?
A rose is only as fine as his or her shortest thorn
We both been covered in the damn things since we was born

We were two wrongs
Trying to make it all right, alright.
We were two wrongs
Trying to make it all right, alright.

There was never enough room in that relationship for us both
We were the sort that got a little thrill out of breaking an oath
I followed you down dark alleys, and into cheap motels and strip joints
You never just did things, you were always proving a point.
Somehow proving that the downtrodden always come out on top
One of the many lost laws on the stone Moses dropped
We’re still piecing it together, still a long ways from getting rich.
And there’s still more than just water running under that bridge.

We were two wrongs
Trying to make it all right, alright.
We were two wrongs
Trying to make it all right, alright.
