Everyone I Know

Edie Carey

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
