Tin Foil Night


I saw you

Cowboy hat

Wrangler jeans

Boots and spurs

Button up shirt

Dark hair

Light eyes

yeah you bet I saw you

I held my breath 

Closed my eyes

And tried so hard

To not let you

Get to me 

Because I knew

The moment I saw you coming my way

You'd be another 

Tin foil knight

On a white horse made of paper

With a sword of plastic

Claiming you care

Claiming you will be there

To catch me when I fall

And then letting me hit the ground 

So hard I bleed and break

Yeah I saw you

The horrible mistake 

WIth the most perfect face
