Straw Dogs - The Wear Lyrics

""The Wear""
Hand to me
Your struggles of the moment
Because I can take a little more than I've got
Or so I believe
I know it may not look that way
Made my own troubles into such a lot

Stay on a while
Can you help me help you?
So at least for one night
I'll be the one who was there
Stow away the truths
That you know about me

I am almost sure now
And I'll convince you somehow
That we are better not worse
For the wear

Bring down the heat
I warmed it up from yesterday
Giving time a chance to make the taste
No story goes
Straight to the good part
That would render all our triumphs to be such a waste

So fuel up again
Cause I've a lot left in me
And I intend on this night
To bring you nothing but care
Read me your rights
It was time they're honored

You pulled me this far somehow
So I'll take the heavy oar now
We will be better not worse
For the wear

Like the well worn letters on this guitar
We wait for the wine, knowing years are so good to it
There's something to be said for us coming this far
It would be such a shame if we didn't learn from it
That's why I'm here to lend the strength that you have earned from it

So fuel up again
Cause I've a lot left in me
And I intend on this night
To bring you nothing but care
Read me your rights
It was time they're honored

I am almost sure now
And I'll convince you somehow
That we are better not worse
For the wear
We will be better not worse
For the wear
