"Puts Me To Work" lyrics

"Puts Me To Work"

Washed upon lower side
The cracked lacquer drained my eyes
You were so fine, but you didn't know how
Played like you'd seen too much
Spoke like you'd had enough
Calluses show, we're both feeling it now

Baby, I've said myself
There's nothing that I could shelf
That's okay till the money runs out
You kill me with empathy
Crave solidarity
And that's fine, but you don't sing out

Well love, you won't remember
The time we took on your broken face
I get so, so little effort
But I know that you're there
'Cause you're making it hurt

Baby, I've said before
It's all that I'm searching for
Now we're together
We need never grow old
And someday the needs will change
And we'll slip beyond the range
It's our day, tomorrow's already sold
Well love, you won't remember
The time we took on your broken face
I get so, so little effort
But I know that you're there
'Cause you're making it hurt

It puts me to work
Puts me to work

It puts me to work
It puts me to work
