Damn Spotlight (Julia's Song)

If tomorrow I could just wake up beside you,

See the morning sunlight spill across your face.

Through the window that looks out on our front porch,

Where I can hear the bare feet of our children play.

Well that might be a place I'd like to stay.

If I could buy a boat I'd cross an ocean,

But I ain't got enough to buy a clue.

So I lie here on the floor,

And hand myself a couple more,

And I wonder how I'll make it back to you.

And the truth is love, that's all I ever do.

Oh but I'll paint on a smile,

And I'll pretend that it's alright,

And die a little more underneath this damn spotlight.

Tell myself this time round I'll get it right,

That's a lie that I tell myself to just get by.

I know you got boys sleeping there beside you,

Both with curly hair and eyes so blue.

I know it's hard after awhile,

But I miss every smile.

Finally I realize the truth,

And the only good thing I ever did to you.

Oh but I'll paint on a smile,

And I'll pretend that it's alright,

And die a little more underneath this damn spotlight.

Tell myself this time round I'll get it right,

That's a lie that I tell myself to just get by.

Oh but I'll paint on a smile,

And I'll pretend that it's alright,

And die a little more underneath this damn spotlight.

Tell myself this time round I'll get it right,

But that's a lie that I tell myself to just get by.
