Won One Too Many Fights Lyrics

The Shins

The gutter may profess its love
Then hollow in its segregations
But there are just so many eyes
You are different

And a stronger girl would brush this off in flight
Never giving more than a frowning hour
But you have let your heart descide
Loss has conquered you

And you won one too many fights
Wearing many hats everytime
But you wont win here tonight

You've made it through the direst of straits alright
Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
That you havent changed an ounce in my eyes
And I can not lecture you

Does anything i say seem relveant at all?
You've been at the helms since you were just five
And I can not claim to be more than a passenger

Well, you won one too many fights
Wearing all of your clothes at the same time
And you wont end here tonight
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her this time
This time

Just a moment or two from now
Not a mind will retain even our tricks
For the thoughts that we struggled to tell
And now our stack of cards just fell

To settle this for once and for all
The light no longer shows the cracks around your door
And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight

You are not some saint who's above
When I need a stroll through the flowers
You've got so much more to dream up
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her this time
This time, this time
