Temporary Man

from Queenie My Dear by Sad About Girls

/

lyrics

I try to keep it simple,
Try to keep it all in place
I try to keep my thoughts to myself,
But you read them right off my face.
There's a place somewhere
Somewhere I don't know.
There's a chance that we won't make it,
But I hope that it isn't so.

Chorus
I try to keep my best foot forward.
I try to do the best I can.
I wanna say that it will last forever,
But I'm too much of a Temporary Man

I admire your persistence
The way you handle yourself.
In the face of a world,
That understands little more than wealth.
You don't have the answers,
But you have more than a clue.
If I had faith in myself,
I'd put some of it in you.

I feel like a worm on a pin.
A fish on a hook.
Like some kind of Jack in the Box;
The saddest story in the book.

We joke about me leaving,
But one day it will be real.
The man with a satisfied mind,
Finds a way to screw up his deal.
I won't expect you to forgive me,
Even though I made it clear.
That one day the man you love,
Will be the one to bring you tears.
