Erica's gone shy
Some unknown x behind the why
All is some less today

Mass not conserving in the old way

Checking out with brother jay

I'll miss your half of me
Girl are you leaving something
You might later need?


Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues

Pulling the rug out under my shoes

Twelve years ago

Shorthand allegiance to the long throw
Make believe and pretend
I remember when they served the same end


You always liked the photo of us
Sitting in our car

Just like we're driving
Girl it's not looking like we'll go all that far


Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Throwing for grabs and leaving behind


Maybe you'll find that promised love
The tingle to the touch

Girl and i hope it comes through for you in a clutch
But i wouldn't bet much


Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues
Pulling the rug out under my shoes


Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred

Knocking me down from second to third
