Unless

Lyrics

Unless (Fire Escapes) Though I’d really like to honor your request There's no shining knight behind this denim vest There are things I’d rather do than let you be So if I sing a smile to your heart forgive me There are better paying jobs than playing this cafe Only time on the road would speed things along my way But here I’m closer to the man I’d rather be I wouldn’t sell you something that you’d never see But a love song never held a woman Who wouldn’t stay anyway So why get upset You’ll move on I’ll slide back a bit Pick it up again another day Unless you’re not sure yet Sunday climb your fire escape; take you for a walk Wander through the parking lots filled with idle talk I’m not the sort to keep one from their dreams You’re reaching for much more than schoolyard schemes But a love song never held a woman Who wouldn’t stay anyway So why get upset You’ll move on I’ll slide back a bit Pick it up again another day Unless you’re not sure yet
