A Million Different Yous

you sewed and i mowed around
my dream house by the end of the road
you and i almost survived
but there's just so much two bodies can hold

you are different in each line
and in each year and in each rhyme

you and i don't sympathize
with elegant liberals or girls with pretty eyes
i charmed and you harmed yourself
and myself set off all my alarms

you are different in each line
and in each year and in each rhyme

you smoked and i spoke too loud and too often
and alienated your folks
you strayed, but i stayed
in my bedroom in my house far away

you are different in each line
and in each year and in each rhyme
