"Willing and Able" lyrics

"Willing and Able"

Oh when my weight left the room did you take a deep breath?
I stole the beer and drove home, there was only one left
And I wrestle the feelin' you're still thinking about that
Wide awake in your room, just seething about that

When I make my flight, I'm the devil
But when I stay the night, then we drink
And we stay up and fight about the childhood lie
That we both had the courage to leave

I'm willing and able
If you wanna kick this rock around
If you've got a bone to pick with me
If you've got a flag, plant it in the ground
Well, I'll stay here 'til morning
Oh, we can fight like we used to fight
Bony-limbed, red-faced, and teary-eyed
Under the glow of the TV light, I'd be willing and able

Look at you leaving again, it's all you know how to do
Go ahead, take the last of the drinks the world belongs to you
They all say you're a light, all I see is a shadow
And I'll see you again in six months, when you need your next song

'Cause if I call you out, I'm an asshole
But I tell the truth when I drink
So come on let's fight about the childhood lie
We don't care what the other one thinks

I'm willing and able
If you wanna kick this rock around
If you've got a bone to pick with me
If you've got a flag, plant it in the ground
Oh, I'll stay here 'til morning
Oh, we can fight like we used to fight
Bony-limbed, red-faced, and teary-eyed
Under the glow of the TV light, I wish you could know me

And I wish I could know you much more sometimes
Wish I could do nothing with you
Sit in the yard while the day dies, leave it all on the table
And I'll say I love you and mean it this time
Say I'm sorry for everything else
If we found a way to the other side, I'd be willing and able

I'd be willing and able
I'd be willing and able
I'd be willing and able
I'd be willing and able
I'd be willing and able
I'd be willing and able
I'd be willing and able
If you're willing, I'm able
