Baby we could rent this house put a fan on the window sill

Cause I don't wanna hear that whippoorwill

Or maybe this is our sentence for all the time we killed

Cause I don't wanna hear that whippoorwill

I'm gonna lose you either way

I'm gonna lose you either way

If I hold on tightly or I let go lightly

Now baby when you say my name it almost sounds absurd

Well I don't wanna hear that mockingbird

You don't whisper it sweet you say it like a curse word

I don't wanna hear that mockingbird

I'm gonna lose you either way

I'm gonna lose you either way

If I hold on tightly or I let go lightly

There must be a number and a corresponding house

Baby when the door is closed the windows let it out

And she comes by begging for one sweet lonely sin

But the door it opens out so you can't kick it in

And her father sweet old man he is comes by to lend a hand

Darlin' I told you all along I only partly understand

And she comes by begging for that lonely sin again

Saying you'd rather be a liar than an honest lonely man

I'm gonna lose you either way

I'm gonna lose you either way

If I hold on tightly or I let go lightly

If I hold on tightly or I let go lightly
