Greg Freeman - Gallic Shrug Lyrics

      

Gallic Shrug
by Greg Freeman

The sun set in vain
Because it found us today feeling the same
Cold and closed to love

 And one foot in the past
And one right in tomorrow’s grasp
Baby we’re just pissing on our gloves

 You don’t know just how hard it is to watch
You go to sleep and your pain punches the clock

 Maybe we’re both blue
Or even worse just two people who
Have too many yesterdays

 The silence talks back at you
The window’s open just laughing at you
And the words bleed out on the page

 Once you’re gone, there’s no way out
Like the cork stabbed into your wine bottle’s mouth

 When I go away, you won’t hear a sound
Over all of the bridges burned in your hometown
It’s breaking me down
It’s breaking me down
You play a game only you can win
My key is bent your lock won’t open

 And if this ain’t proof
Man is indiscreet
Why is heartache outside, doing pushups in the street

 After one last round
After one last round
You’re lookin’ to the sky for love
And all you get is a Gallic shrug

 And if this ain’t proof
Man is indiscreet
Why is heartache outside, doing pushups in the street
After one last round
After one last round

 The bartender just shrugs you off
But I will love you until the cows come home
