Everyone I Know

She's in the rowboat
Tears of laughter flooding her face
She's bailing out her sinking ship
He's on the shore and he's knee deep in the water
Clutching his life preserver for dear life

She falls in love like she's going to the market
Embracing each lover with open arms
He sleeps alone holding out for Princess Charming
Stuffing his hands in the pockets of those old jeans

She thinks that she's really living life
And he thinks that she's reckless and careless
But they got the same blood, but different ways
Just let it be that way
Just let it be that way

She lays it all out right on the table
She ain't got no secrets
And he doesn't speak unless he's spoken to
And he keeps it all close to the vest

She says I love you like it's pass the salt dear
And she makes it known before they slip away
He whispers I love you like it's a four letter word
And it's his gift to woman

She thinks that she's really living life
And he thinks that she's reckless and careless
But they got the same blood, but different ways
Just let it be that way
Just let it be that way

I know you've walked through more life than I
But I've seen some things in these twenty years
And you can draw me all the maps of falling places
But the only way I find them is if I go there myself
I do it myself

Because I know that I'm really living life
And I know you think that I'm reckless and careless
But we got the same blood, but different ways
Just let it be that way
Just let it be that way
