The Bear 02:12
I was there when you told me about the bear I didn't care Greasy fingers running through your hair Pushing, pulling everywhere Chorus: The Bear Will get what he deserves, I suppose The Bear Will leave his imprint on your face and on your clothes You think I want to be dating the bear? I swear... He don't compare. He's rough and tumble he's a mess of a man, But he answered my call, and at least he's there. Chorus: The Bear Will give what I deserve, I suppose The Bear Will wear my scent upon his face and on his clothes. And what the bear wants, the bear gets. So much talk about you taming the bear, I swear, You needn't have shared. Rocking and rolling in that animal's lair, I see it all, though I wasn't there. Ch

She parks the car and takes the key She steps outside, then suddenly, she checks her hair. She makes her way up to the door She doesn't feel she needs to hide And she's inside. Chorus: Just one fact can break it all Burn the town Just one picture and it all comes crashing down Just one accident that hangs around And look at what you've found He pulls a record from the sleeve She's made her mind up not to leave He brushes back her hair And puts some food down on her plate, She's feeling hungry from the wait, And takes it all inside. Chorus She wakes at dawn and slips away He doesn't ask for her to stay He hardly says a word She feels the road beneath her surge And pushing back a sudden urge, She keeps it all inside Chorus

Walked past your house again It doesn't make a difference The blinds are drawn The plants are staring at me vaguely from the sill You could be sitting in your parlor Drinking coffee with the milk man That's a bitter pill The feeling still remains it hasn't died It's just an empty sort of thrill That has me clutch at my insides and wonder why We can't be happening like we happened once before And happening still Chorus: And everyone at Target drives a Honda And every stranger's face looks just like you And every poor man's imitation carries home the blow That it's all over and there's nothing I can do And everyone at Target Drives a Honda Scrolled through your Facebook page It didn't solve my problem That blue-eyed rocker boy is staring through his sideburns back at me You could be sitting in his Kitchen Eating crackers from his cupboard Oh what a thing to see The days they just tick by They're all the same My only hope is we'll collide It's just my never-ending game That has me planning run-ins, chance encounters all the while Every time I step outside. Chorus
