It took a photograph of her and me to get her home to her city
Driving through the darkness, her lover pa**ed out in the back
And as she drove through the country town without a thought of slowing down
I really hope she forced that television smile for me
A necklace and a set of keys from a whirlwind tour of Sydney
And as the blood falls out my knees I remember why I hate to sleep
Dreaming of car doors slamming, waking up to him on a single bed..
And when I said "us," I meant "them,"
And when I said "them," I meant "you,"
And when I said "you," I meant "nothing,"
And when I said "me," I meant "anyone,"
And when I said "Sam," I meant "Tom,"
And when I said "Tom," I meant "her,"
And when I said "us," I meant "them."
And the community meant more to me than all the times that I'd believed that were one against a common enemy
She looked at me and said, "Darling you make me so f**ing scared,"
And I upped and left and she was standing there on the same goddamn single bed
I get up, I got to work, then I come back again
I spend my money on a place that lets me live closer to my job
So all this chest beating and fist pumping really means a whole f**ing lot
This is all we have
