"I Am Both" lyrics

"I Am Both"

He said I lived too close to the train tracks
Well if you ask me I'm just a little too far back
I like a little whistle in my life
I could use a little more thistle in my life
And he said, "You talk like such a fool
Are you courageous or are you cruel?"
I am both
I am both

He told me I didn't look well
I told him he looked like hell
He said he's waiting for the right time
I told him he'd be waiting for a lifetime
Then he took both my hands with conviction
And asked me if I was fact or fiction
I am both
I am both

Oh just because you cannot read
Doesn't mean there's not a sign on my door
Just because you need
Doesn't mean I want to give you more
And he said, "Then what did I come all this way for?
Are you trying to tease me telling me you don't want to please me?"
But I never said or did anything that should lead you to this
And even if some beauty leads you blind
Well, guess what - they're allowed to change their minds
I am both
I am both

No I never said or did anything that should lead you to this
And even if some beauty leads you blind
Well they're allowed to change their minds
I am both
I am both
