Average Man

Clarity

To my memories

They’re were sharper edges than I thought

I was the trophy

That you had to love

Until my varnish began to come off

And just like the seasons turn

Your love began to burn

So when did that ring become the trigger

That made you want to figure

How you could jump that fence

Yeah, everybody saw it

But I always fought

To make us make some sense

Instead of hanging stars in my skies

You were buried in somebody’s thighs

Yeah, it hurts to know I’m married to the shadow of an average man.

I never saw myself

Being the ball and chain

I was the one they all desired

So I’ll help you out

With your fantasy

Hope this reality can make you smile

I’ll set you free

And in my dreams, I can

finally breathe

So when did that ring become the trigger

That made you want to figure

How you could jump that fence

Yeah, everybody saw it

But I always fought it

To make us make some sense

Instead of hanging stars in my sky

You were buried in somebody’s thighs

Yeah, it hurts to know I married a shadow of an average man.

I should have known
