 Lyrics for Album: Road To Ensenada [1996]
 
 
 
 17259>(Lovett)
 
 
 
 Tell your mama I love her
 
 Tell your daddy I tried
 
 Tell them I wish that I could explain
 
 The way that I'm feeling.
 
 
 
 See the sun comes up on the pavement
 
 The pavement it starts to sweat
 
 The steam rises up from the water
 
 And the hotter it is you know the harder it gets.
 
 
 
 And it ought to be easier
 
 When you turn your lights down low
 
 And it ought to be easier
 
 To leave when you know that you have to go.
 
 
 
 I know you don't believe me
 
 And I know you don't understand
 
 But honey the way that you treat me
 
 I can't even tell who I am.
 
 
 
 And you tell me I'm the one you're not to blame
 
 And you tell me I make you feel the same way
 
 And we talk in circles but we never say
 
 It's just out of weakness that both of us stay.
 
 
 
 And it ought to be easier
 
 When you turn your lights down low
 
 And it ought to be easier
 
 To leave when you know that you have to go.
 
 
 
 I look at you when you're sleeping
 
 And I think about how it could be
 
 If you would wake up and open your arms
 
 And hold me.
 
 
 
 But you look at me when you wake up
 
 With eyes that are angry and mean
 
 And I turn away and walk into the kitchen
 
 And I pray for the strength to leave.
 
 
 
 Because it ought to be easier
 
 When you turn your lights down low
 
 And it ought to be easier
 
 To leave when you know that you have to go
 
 To leave when you know that you have to go.
 
 
 
 So tell your mama I love her
 
 I hope she knows that I tried
 
 Tell her I wish that I could explain
 
 The way that I'm feeling.
 
 
 
 See the suns comes up on the pavement
 
 The pavement it starts to sweat
 
 The steam rises up from the water
 
 And the hotter it is you know the harder it gets
 
 The hotter it is you know the harder it gets.
 
 
 
 The hotter it is you know the harder it gets...
