Six Months In A Cast
The Trouble With Templeton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someday I'll buy you beads
I've been walking for hours
Can't seem to feel my feet.
Didn't want her leg to snap so
Spent six months in a cast, oh
Just to be safe
Drove on the street to the field, oh
And in to lake
Fate
Oh, I wouldn't believe in it
If I knew better than I do
It is too late
Oh, I keep on deceiving you
And I'll always play the fool
And it's a way for you to know
Someday we'll sleep for hours
Someday I'll sell your things
Someday we'll trade our vows
And face what marriage brings
Didn't want her leg to snap so
Spent six months in a cast, oh
Just to be safe.
Couldn't find the steering wheel, no
Drove on the street to the field, oh
And in to lake
Fate
Oh, I wouldn't believe in it
If I knew better than I do
It is too late
Oh, I keep on deceiving you
And I'll always play the fool
And fate
Oh, I wouldn't believe in it
If I knew better than I do
It is too late
Oh, I keep on deceiving you
And I'll always play the fool
And it's a way for my stomach to
Taste what I give it
Summer has faded
Likeness is fading
Fading
