Tim Kasher - Strays Lyrics
I've been thinking I should write some kind of love song for you...Too prove to you I doIt shouldn't be to hard to writeI'll just think of that time I first saw you in omahoYou were stranded on Jackson with a bus fare to who know's whereI took you in, right, then and thereAnd life took on a new formNo more stayin out all nightNo more killin ourselves just to make ourselves feel alrightNo more sleepin with stranger's and those awkward, goodbyesI never had much family, never had too many friendsThen you came wandering throughPompously I took you for grantedThat's why I gotta write this little, this little love song for youI'll sing about those Denver mornings you'd wake up ballin bout a long lost kidYour maternal instincts, were kickin inAs the sun dazzled bright upon the peaksYou brought home a dog you found in the alleyYou said can we keep her? I said well, what kind of man would I be?So you bought her a collar, and you called her your familyRight is a selfish right is a egotistI'm afraid I'm as bad as it getsI keep forgettin to sensor the truthThat's why I better write some, some kinda love song for youWe're drivin cross country in a uhaul, on the hunt for our new homeHigh a top Eagle Rock, we found a house with a big back yardSo we picked up another mutt, from the Crenshaw PoundSippin coffee on the porch while the dogs wrestle on the lawnI'm sorry I've had my doubts...Were a family of strays but together we've been foundWere a family of stray's but together we've been found
