The Barstow Song

from I Could Have Handled This Better by Tom Clark

/

about

I've often found that there can be a sense of dread between relationships. While many are totally content being single or being on their own, I often found it unsettling.

This song is about knowing that you've left one big relationship and you know you'll get to another one but the underlying sense of dread in starting over leaves you in a void.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I wanna get you drunk
I wanna show you things you've never seen, things you won't believe
I wanna take you home
I wanna burn our clothes in kerosene then we'll howl at the moon

Chorus:
I'm sorry at the end of the day, I hope you're drunk enough to settle for me.

Verse 2:
I wanna be a best
On second thought I've been that guy before, I wont be anymore
I wanna write you songs
And poetry that tells you everything and what you mean to me

Chorus

Bridge:
I'm so, hoping, that you'll open your eyes
And maybe if you look hard enough
You'll find something new, in me

Chorus
