Stretch

Sam MacPherson

Compositor: Jeremy Hatcher / Sam MacPherson / Tommy English

She'll race the counter on the crosswalk
Float right off the sidewalk and into traffic
Where she dances among the headlights
And she talks about Montana like it's made of magic
But I've never been there, but I still believe her

Oh, I never thought, never thought I would stretch
In ways, I swore I'd never bend, bend
Oh, if I said: You'll get my heart till the end, end
Tell me, does it seem like a stretch?

The city block is burning, you'd think she'd run away
But she pulls up a lawn chair, I guess I don't care
She's sleeping through the sirens, she's not showing up for work
She's gone all weekend, out there dreaming

Oh, I never thought, never thought I would
Oh, I never thought, never thought I would stretch
In ways, I swore I'd never bend, bend
Oh, if I said: You'll get my heart till the end, end
Tell me, does it seem like a stretch?

We're diving with the gaslight on
She says: Don't worry, we've only got a couple of miles

Oh, I never thought, never thought I would
Oh, I never thought, never thought I would
Oh, I never thought, never thought I would
Oh, I never thought, never thought I would stretch
In ways, I swore I'd never bend, bend
Oh, if I said: You'll get my heart till the end, end
Tell me, does it seem like a stretch?
