Straight Shot-DeVotchKa

I can't draw a straight line through my mind Right back to the good times Back when all the stars were aligned Before all the paper work got signed It's like a straight shot through the backyards And the vacant lots Through the varied chambers of my heart To the part of town that even you seem to have forgot Now it's just a short ride over to the eastside It's where my true love still resides Where all of my dreams go to die And my life is just around the bend And these broken hearts can mend It just takes time time time It takes time time time Ous was the tale that never would end Doors were gonna open and rules were gonna bend Now it doesn't matter who they send Can't hold a candle to you My fairweather best friend Now I'm stuck in the slow lane On the useless side of my brain The one that drives a thinking man insane Wishing his circumstances never have to change My life is just around the bend And these broken hearts can mend It just takes time time time It takes time time time That's why I draw a straight line through my mind Right back to the good times Back when all the stars were aligned Before all the paper work got signed I make that quick line over to the eastside Where my true love still resides Where all of my dreams go to die
