lyrics

This isn't your basic love song
And if you think it is
Then I'm singing it wrong

She thinks that his bravado's like an avalanche in Colorado
Tearing up a terra cotta condo, and so
She plays with her hair
And he pretends he doesn't care

He thinks that he can treat her like a genie in a bottle
Use her for the wishes and then lose her like the lotto
But he won't forget her
And she won't forgive him

And he's bent over in the shower
And she still thinks that he's a coward
And he'll count all the passing cars tonight
And she'll still be right, yeah, she'll still be right

This isn't a basic love song
And if you think it is
Then I'm singing it wrong

He was all this,
And she was all that
And now he's simply dealing with the impact
When the best laid plans all fall flat,
Simple men are reduced to simple mousetracks

He's bent over in the shower
She still thinks that he's a coward
He'll just keep counting passing cars
And she'll count out all her battle scars
And he'll count all the passing cars tonight
And she'll still be right
She'll still be right

"If there were water and no rock
If there were rock and also water
and water, and water
a spring, a pool among the rock
if there were the sound of water only...
But there is no water"
