Uncivilized

Lost at sea in her stormy company

yeah, but she's the only motion I got.

Somehow I still feel like an island

although my baby's got me landlocked.

Unfulfilling is love without sin,

unfulfilled is a lust fueled by gin.

But every moment in a love hung over

is better than alone in sober.

Uncivilized,

you're stepping on the sun

whenever it shines

in my sky.

Oh, but I need you.

You're just like the rain

on soil too dry

I have to have you.

You're so uncivilized

When I feel it's a morning to mend

she's left a train ticket on the counter again.

I take a step but a pawn to a queen

when she says she might be leaving on the 3:19.

I heard it in the morning,

heard it 'round 2

I heard it from her mother,

now I know that we're through.

But in the evening

skin aglow in silhouette

she's beauty like a storm after a day bathed in sweat.
