lyrics

He's talking to the walls again
about basketball and loneliness,
how all his friends are leaving him
for the jobs and the girls.

And all at once he notices
the smell of cheap beer seeping in
and you still sitting next to him,
waiting your turn.

He's got a classic name like Daniel
and a voice you'd recognize,
a laugh that makes you jealous
of the wrinkles round his eyes,
and though you cannot fix him
he's the love of your life, so you give it a try.

You drive him back to Tennessee
to have dinner with his family
and you're begging them for sympathy
when you tell them that he's high,
but his dad turns off the oven
and his sister starts to cry
and they tell you you don't know him,
it's crazy that you came all this way just to lie.

He's got a classic name like Daniel
and a voice you'd recognize,
a laugh that makes you jealous
of the wrinkles round his eyes,
and though you cannot fix him
he's the love of your life, so it's better to try.

You're staying with your best friend
just till he gets clean again
and soon you'll be holding him
just like before.

You go to your apartment,
you let yourself in,
all of the lights are on you know he's home
the liquor's gone, there's flowers on the table
and his body on the floor.

He had a classic name like Daniel
and a voice you'd recognize,
a laugh that made you jealous
of the wrinkles round his eyes,
and though you could not fix him,
he's the love of your life.
