"Missionary" lyrics
"Missionary"
Someone took this clipboard
Put it in my hand
Pointed to a map
Told me where to stand
Only takes a moment
Doesn't cost a dime
Maybe I could change your mind
I spent the whole summer
Repeating lines I memorized
I was disregarded
I was criticized
Back at the apartment
Poured a glass of wine
Maybe I could never change your mind
I was so proud in my
Crimson cap and gown
Of a little roll of paper
That the dean was handing out
I didn't know it then
But I would learn it over time
That I could never change your mind

Where I won't
I knew...
Andy Shauf - "The Worst In You" I stepped out the front door
Went out into the night
Took out a cigarette
Then I felt for my light
In my front pockets it was nowhere to be found
I went back in the door
Kicked off both of my shoes...
Leif Vollebekk - "A Dozen Mares" A light once lit your apartment number
When something came over me
While you were standing under
It
I took things too far lightly
And far too lightly
When I heard and felt it coming
It was like...
Mason Jennings - "When It's Real" It was bound to happen and it happened today
Life turned to us to say, "I'm about to go your way"
And it's a simple situation now that we became us
There ain't no rust on the happiness bus
And it's...
