The Rutting Moon Lyrics

she said he's just a friend of mine
a shoulder that I can lean on
from time to time
maybe I'm a jealous guy
but I feel like the harder I try
the less happens

this leaking ship needs mending
every river leads to its ending

you want to let me down easy
though it doesn't seem easy to me
a slow-motion fall from the tall
buildings to the crowded street
the good times yeah, they're still good
but the bad times feel worse than they should feel
you want to let me down easy

our backs on the bedroom floor
we whisper why it's different
than the ones we knew before
spring was innocence and bliss summer wild inconsequence
but this is real

the leaves in central park glow like embers
as a clock tower chimes through the dark

you want to let me down easy
but that's the hardest way I know
a subtle change turns great and strange
until we're unidentifiable
the good times yeah, they're still good
but the bad times feel much worse than they should feel
you want to let me down easy

all my letters you have yet to read
what do you need? please take it from me
October rain the crows are circling, your eyes mystifying
showing me something you don't see

you're going to let me down easy
