[ti:Wednesday] [ar:Drive-By Truckers] [al:A Blessing and a Curse] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.85]Wednesday - Drive-By Truckers [00:02.10] [00:12.41]There was something in the envelope she passed him [00:16.49] [00:18.10]That weighed more to him than paper and some ink [00:22.02] [00:23.81]It had a hint of something darker [00:26.19]And a hint of something sweet [00:29.36] [00:29.92]And a little extra glue right on the tip [00:33.57] [00:35.63]There was something in the pain [00:37.85]That shot right through him [00:39.84] [00:41.53]As he climbed up to the place he called his home [00:45.14] [00:47.49]They say every man's house should be his palace [00:51.94] [00:53.47]But his castle stank of cat sh*t and alone [00:57.00] [00:59.44]So he opened it and found a faded picture [01:02.74] [01:05.33]Of a girl he's never met but somehow seen [01:09.03] [01:11.31]Like a memory of a dream from early childhood [01:15.70] [01:17.30]Like a virgin's idea of release [01:20.96] [01:22.40]She said "I can bend my arms until they're backward [01:27.32] [01:28.75]But you can't bend your will to take in mine [01:32.89] [01:34.74]And I could hold my breath until next Wednesday [01:39.41]And still be doing fine" [01:42.31] [01:52.18]He was sad in ways he couldn't tell her [01:56.28] [01:57.91]Though she could make his sadness all her own [02:02.14] [02:03.84]He couldn't see the use in spreading sadness [02:07.99] [02:09.49]So he took his dark depression and went home [02:13.72] [02:15.02]She saw things in him he never bargained [02:19.59] [02:21.22]But it wasn't enough to save either one of them [02:25.17] [02:27.48]Because she took that sadness one step further [02:31.51] [02:33.02]And left him all alone to face the end
