Unguarded Minute
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I speak too soon
Maybe I play too hard
and I listen to major worries in a minor way
you sent your message to me
Made a move that I'd understand
When you moved from a ticket in line
To a room in L.A.
There was a time spit second I could have said please
Fool around and my guard was down by a few degrees
An unguarded minute has an accident in it.
I guess I should have tried a little bit
Yeah, I could have changed
I could be anything that ya want
But it wouldn't be me
Do anything that you say
Use any thought to armor the way
So do you love them man that I am,
or what you want me to be
I wanna hold you now but I can let you go
So anytime you can do better just let me know
An unguarded minute has an accident in it
I wanna hold you tight.
