I can't begin to compete with you 

and everyone knows I know you know it, too.

It's a complicated fear

that grows with every year

and it's walking on it's own finally



All I can offer are farmer chords,

these simple rhymes and you painted in words

You can sing this when alone

or whistle it through your teeth 

and it will feel like home

no matter how far you'll be 

from my lonely arms outstretched 

just beyond your reach

singing "ooh, baby, please..."



I can't begin to compete with you 

and everyone knows I know you know it, too.

It's a complicated fear

that grows with every year

and it's walking on it's own finally
