When was it you began to fail to understand me She sat in the bathtub laughing at her cat Wiping the sand from her bandaids and scabs I smoked while I dressed I didn't hate my thin top lip Everywhere else was the same place We kissed and kept kissing She always smelled like oranges and wine We were learning to live perhaps as if only to not be in a hurry Too beautiful not to disappear When was it you began to fail to understand me If I knew what it was you'd taken away I might know what it was you'd given to me We were sharing each all along for our own benefit I smoke while I dress And do the stand on one foor dance to the radio rodeo I hate my thin top lip And do the stand on one foot dance to the radio rodeo Everywhere else is the same place
