"Mother Wound" lyrics

It was our third date, and we were in the park
It was a Tuesday in the middle of March
I said the wrong thing, I knew it in my heart
I guess

I read your fortune, I saw the mother wound
You lit a cigarette, then we were in my room
You took my clothes off, I was in debt to you
Again

I should have known that was no way to start a conversation
Loving you lowered my expectations
Loving you lowered my expectations
I should have shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
Loving me went from a high worth chasing
To something lower than your expectations

It was in April, I was falling free
You were red, white and blue, I was forest green
But I was in love, babe
And you were in awe of me back then

It was a mystery, the decay of it
How you could worship at my lips and then call yourself an atheist
Well sometimes, that's just the way it is
Least I got a record, babe, and you just got away with it

I should have known that was no way to start a conversation
Loving you lowered my expectations
Loving you lowered my expectations
I should have shown you I'm no saint before it got complicated
Loving me went from a high worth chasing
Loving me went from a rule worth breaking
Loving me went from a life worth saving
To something lower than your expectations
