The Rent

John Wesley Harding

[Verse 1]
The doors they're all now closing
The shutters drawing too
Guess it's you and me left alone at last
Both looking for someone to shoot
Me with the empty threats of nowhere words
You wear your kid's glove
At that very moment when we cracked
Someone somewhere was falling in love

[Verse 2]
It's turn to face to facedown time
And is this gonna hurt?
Travelled nine thousand miles just to give you a light
And I scrabbled in your dirt
But even our sheets are clean now
Our records, slates and thoughts
If you even half-cared, you'd take that rose out of your hair
Wear mourning like you ought

[Chorus]
I don't wanna push, I don't wanna pull
We rented this room together
But baby, I can't face being
Tied up in this lover's knot forever

[Verse 3]
Gets so stuffy when it comes to this
Makes you feel like breaking
The only way out is to smash down the door
That's how to kill or cure a heart that's been aching
But I'd give everything I own
Just for the grace to be
I'd cut the film before you wore
Your silver lace for me

[Chorus]
But I don't wanna push, I don't wanna pull
We rented this room together
Baby, I can't face being
Tied up in this lover’s knot forever

[Bridge]
Well, there are two sides to every story
You know there's more sides than I can imagine
To every woman and every man
Who ever tried their hand at living

[Verse 4]
The doors they're all now closing
The shutter's drawing too
Don't think we can move forward from here
But I guess it's not all up to you
And the second hand is frozen
And the minute hand's sublime
We're slower than slow motion
How are we going to pass the time?
Now we’ve decided that

[Chorus]
I don't wanna push, you don't wanna pull
We've rented this room together
But baby, I can’t face being
Tied up in this lover's knot
No, I don't wanna push, you don't wanna pull
We've rented this room
We've rented this room
Rented this room together
