Nails of Love - The American Scene

When you’re up in the morning

I’ll still be here watching

The hopelessly independent

And desperately disinterested

Lovers of California

Taking their time calling it off

She doesn’t want to be in love

She doesn’t think it’s any fun

All her friends are getting high on the weekends

He doesn’t dance unless he’s drinking

But he’s been breaking it down, breaking it down

I met a man on a Wednesday

Who asked me if I’d been trying

I told him I was, I told him I was

And I was convinced then

That I had the better end

This was always making sense

Keeping this, keeping this, keeping this

I honestly never really needed to know

But I did

His girlfriend said that she was leaving alone

They were together just an hour ago
