Pretty Lady
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Pretty Lady's Tale of Imperfect Unity
Lyrics
You say I’m just creeping on the outside lines
You accuse me of staying on the fringes, but I manage to cope.
But I, I’m getting by
Despite challenges, I am finding a way to endure.
Communication in this age of paranoia won’t survive
In this era of distrust, effective communication is difficult.
As we’re drowning inside
We are overwhelmed by our struggles.
Call me up when your drunk, I’ll just call you when I’m high
Contact me when you're intoxicated; I'll do the same when I'm under the influence.
Looking to bridge the divide
Attempting to bridge the emotional gap.
Were we ever so perfect together, me and you, I confide
Reflecting on the past, questioning if we were once perfect.
Before this whole landslide
Before everything fell apart like a landslide.
So pretty lady
Addressing a woman as "pretty lady."
Give the me the chance to make things just alright
Pleading for an opportunity to make things right.
And maybe one day you’ll be the one to save me
Hoping that she might be the one to rescue and support.
And ensure we’re getting by… just fine
Ensuring that we manage to survive.
Can’t live with you so I try and try to get by, by myself
Unable to coexist, attempting to live independently.
Although it’s hard I’m finding out
Despite difficulties, learning to cope.
Were we ever so perfect together, me and you, somehow
Reflecting again on a past relationship's perceived perfection.
Before this whole washout
Before it all washed away.
So pretty lady
Reiterating the plea to the "pretty lady."
Give the me the chance to make things just alright
Asking for a chance to set things right.
And maybe one day you’ll be the one to save me
Expressing hope that she might be the savior.
And ensure we’re getting by
Reaffirming the commitment to survival.
So you’re lonely ever think of being with a lonely guy like me
Proposing a connection with a lonely individual.
We can build this house of loneliness on sin and misery
Suggesting building a relationship on shared pain and hardship.
Hearts transposed, off with your clothes, step inside the unknown
Referring to a deep connection, vulnerability, and the unknown.
What it takes or where it goes, no one knows oh no one knows
The uncertainty of the journey and its destination.
Drag me around, piss me off, leave me falling at your knees
Describing a tumultuous relationship where emotions fluctuate.
How could I ever explain how you could be with a guy like me
Expressing difficulty in explaining the compatibility.
Take me in, kick me out, first I’m found, then I’m lost
Being accepted and rejected repeatedly.
Oh why we can’t cut it off
Questioning why they can't end the relationship.
Oh oh we’re getting by
Repeated affirmation of surviving and getting by.
Oh oh we’re getting by
-Oh oh we’re getting by
-Oh oh we’re getting by
-So pretty lady
Reiteration of the plea to the "pretty lady" and the desire for a chance at improvement.
Give the me the chance to make things just alright
-And maybe one day you’ll be the one to save me
-And ensure we’re getting by
-So pretty lady
-Give the me the chance to make things just alright
-And maybe one day you’ll be the one to save me
-And ensure we’re getting by
-And ensure we’re getting by
Continued emphasis on the commitment to survival.
And ensure we’re getting by
-And ensure we’re getting by
-And ensure we’re getting by
-And ensure we’re getting by
Final emphasis on the determination to endure.
