I’m a pretty impossible lady to be with

I took the Polaroid down in my room
I’m pretty sure you have a new girlfriend it’s not as if I don’t like you
it just makes me sad whenever I see it
cuz I like to be gone most of the time and
you like to be home most of the time
if I stay in one place I lose my mind
I’m a pretty impossible lady to be with

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride and I never met a Toby
that I didn’t like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended even if he didn’t
I wouldn’t be offended

I had a dream that had to drive to Madisonto deliver a painting for some silly reason I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan Paul Baribeau took me to the giant tire swing
gave me a push and he started singing I sang along while I was swinging the sound of our voices made us forget everything that had ever hurt our feelings

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride and I never met a Toby
that I didn’t like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommendedeven if he didn’t
I wouldn’t be offended…
wouldn’t be offended

now I’m home for less than twenty-four hours that’s hardly time to take a shower hug my family and take your picture off the wall check my email write a song and make a few phone calls before it’s time to leave again I’ve got one hand on the steering wheel one
waving out the window
if I’m a spinster for the rest of my life
my arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights

Joey never met a bike that he didn’t wanna ride and I never met a Toby
that I didn’t like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommendedeven if he didn’t
I wouldn’t be ofended

Tire swing, Kimya Dawson
