From The Right Angle

You have found me on the other side
Of a loser’s winning streak
Where my thoughts all wander
Further than they should
Let me sing to you my solitude
Let me pay for your next drink
Let me defend these hearts
Which are so rarely understood
From the right angle, in the right light
I might seem like I could take care of you
For a brief moment, for a few nights
Until the changing world has tumbled back into view
When nothing really matters
The world gets harder to resist
And saves you a place
At the end of an empty glass
I am here as a reminder
The quick glance off of a cliff
I guess that’s why I though you would never ask
At the scene of all I’ve left unlearned
In the directions to your house
In every swing I took to crack the code
I need a cold beer from a dressing room
I need a string of dates back out
I think there are a few of us
That still belong out on the road
Until all you want is all I know how to do
I might seem like I could take care of you
