Paul Westerberg Dangerous Boys
They come from nowhere
And everywhere to share your bed.
When they’re asleep
At least you won’t feel dead.
Dangerous boys – all break in the night.
Fall to pieces – in front of your eyes
You mend them back together – and make em feel safe.
Except for that one boy – who keeps breaking like a wave.
They ask you, ‘where am I?’
‘Where am I going, where have I been?’
You tell ‘em, ‘Don’t cry’
It don’t matter cause your coming with.
Dangerous boys – all break in the night.
Fall to pieces – a secret for your eyes
You mend them back together – and make them feel safe.
Except for that one boy – who keeps breaking like a wave.
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey
If God is their ocean,
You’ll be in a dangerous land
Treat ‘em with the motion
Dammit quit playing in your sand.
Seen them shatter, seen them scatter – to the wind.
It doesn’t matter because you won’t be coming with.
You mend them back together, with a little tape, and your faith.
Except for that one boy – who keeps breaking like a wave.
Mend them back together – send them out the door.
Except for that one boy – who keeps crashing at your shore.
Crashing, at your, shore – shore
