You write on matchbooks of possibilities Straight lines go this and that way, mean no sense to me

You're all electrical and I'm lo-fidelity, neighbors gather round

Cause I can't linger any longer, I've come through my skin

But you don't have to surrender, Abby If I won't let you in

I see you sitting there, gospel in the spring, you gotta give it up and redirect your pain

Cracks on the sidewalk, I turn and run away, neighbors gather round

Cause I have given all my strength up, I'm subdued and scared

But you don't have to surrender, Abby, oh why should you even care

I'm trying to be my own man and there comes the sacrifices when I write this late at night

By myself, I'm glad you like it, cause this life's too great, so I really can't complain

And it's never too late to take off on the runway

Grew up in the era when they told me I could do it, but they told me I could do it

Without letting me to choose what kind of life I wanna live

Temptation, temptation, I'm never giving in, I'm staying the same, man

Cause I can't whisper any louder, I won't let you in

But you don't have to surrender, Abby, oh why should you begin
