Tiny Spark

Brendan Benson · Lapalco [2002]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I've always been this way

Never known any other way to feel

Got the right of way

And all of the others must yield



Now I'm naked

And I'm in school

I can't make it

To the door

Yeah

Try to understand

That an oyster can only make a pearl

From a grain of sand

But from what I don't know makes a girl



Well I'm trying

Not to laugh

It's that I'm dying



When we break (when we break) apart

And you take (And you take) back your heart (back your heart)

And it aches in the dark

But it makes a tiny spark



I've always been this way

never known any other way to feel

got the right of way

and all the others must yield



Now I'm naked

and I'm in school

l can't make it

to the door

And we're lying in the grass

I was trying oh not to laugh

I was drowing in the past
