Eventually

Brendan Benson

In her past there's lots of people
I know them by their names
Some of them rushed by like water
Some of them were flames
Each and all knew a different girl

Someone I've never met
They went with her to parties
Good times she'll not forget
And here I come with empty hands
Ready to receive

And I just hope she doesn't change
Her mind and want to leave
Please you got to stay with me
Things will get better eventually
So girl stick it out with me
I feel a change coming over me
I came long at a time when she
Had offers left and right
I gave her all I had to give

All my best insight
Now she sees the uselessness
The nonsense of it all
She understands the ways of men
Kicking in the stall

I've got the feeling I did harm
No good there have I done
I see in her the shit that once was mine
Of which she asked for none

And sometimes when I look at her
I see a different girl
I wonder what she's thinking
And if she's not part of my world
