From the recording Make That a Double!
Lyrics
words won't stop losing her from hurting
it knocked you out you got hit from your blind side
now you know a rose can stick you when you pick it
and many stronger men than you have cried
she'll find some clear way to tell you
a girl like that won't reach for adages and rhymes
plain speaking like when someone's really saying something
the meaning sinks in with space and time
Blindsided
look how love can do
Blindsided
those arrows fly right through
you won't know where love is hiding
take it from someone who's spied it
first place to check is you blind side
you've heard some tales of San Francisco
Divisadero was no street for games like hers
every night drunk down at the disco
and in the morning tripping home or maybe worse
her photo sits up on my mantle
right next to last months sarcastic Valentine
don't mutter bout the clutter, it won't make it any better
I swear not to be caught off guard next time
Blindsided
look how love can do
Blindsided
those arrows fly right through
you won't know where love is hiding
take it from someone who's spied it
first place to check is you blind side
