lyrics:

I got piss poor life skills

for a grown-ass man

honey I aint as tall

as you think I am

quiet desperation throwing 'round its weight

got me dancing a side-step shuffle

down this load bearing plank

time waits for no one

every man got needs

there's somebody else

that I have to be

quiet desperation loosing its restraint

floating on the surface tension

held taut behind her face

I suppose I should have seen it coming

how could I know it would be as sweet as this

every pause and mis-step

have brought me here

every finish line

don't bring only cheer

quiet desperation got nothing left to say

I hear between the lines

crawling 'round the page

I suppose I should have seen it coming

how could I know it would be as sweet as this

words and music by Jonathan E Burks
