Everyone I Know

She's in the rowboat

Tears of laughter flooding her face

She's bailing out her sinking ship

He's on the shore

He's knee deep in the water

Clutching his life preserver

For dear life

She falls in love like

she's going to the market

Embracing each lover

with ready arms

He sleeps alone holding out for princess charming

Stuffing his hands in the pockets

of those old jeans

She thinks that she's

really living life

And he thinks that

she's reckless and careless

But they've got the same blood

but different ways

Just let it be that way

Just let it be that way

She lays it all out

right on the table

She ain't got no secrets

He doesn't speak

unless he's spoken to

And he keeps it all

close to the vest

She says 'I love you' like it's

'pass the salt dear'

She makes it known

before they slip away

He whispers 'I love you'

like it's a four letter word

It's his gift to only one woman

She thinks that she's

really living life

And he thinks

that she's reckless and careless

They've got the same blood

but different ways

Just let it be that way

Just let it be that way

I know you've walked

through more life than I

But I've seen some things

in these 20 years

And you can draw me

all the maps of the falling places

But the only way I'll find them

is if I go there myself

I'll do it myself

Because I know

that I'm really living life

And I know you think that I'm reckless and careless

But we've got the same blood but different ways

Just let it be that way

Just let it be that way
