Glen Phillips & Toad Lyrics

True (Winter pays for summer)

So how, how did I lose the thread When you reeled it in again I could be caught on that line Spending my time swimming with you Your love is often unkind, bitter and blind Sometimes casually cruel But it's true, but it's true You give more than you would ever take Forgive the mess I leave in my wake I'm inconsistent at best Never at rest, ever the fool I'm always stumbling around knocking things down But whatever else I do I'll be true, I'll be true You're in and out of my hands Slipping like sand, passing like time Your love is brutally bold, careless and cold But it's mine, mine I won't tell you a lie so be careful what you ask me I don't care, I don't mind if you never understand me Every day, every night I can promise you I'll be true, I'll be true
