He: This ain't my first rodeo.
Me: Ok, hang in there.

And here I've been thinking of you as an angel with dirty knees.

I never could get my eyes up as high as your eyes, so there was never any chance of me seeing if there was a halo or not. 8)

No it's not. Nothing is ever alright in the end. Life is just periods of melancholy interrupted by enormous lengths of boredom.
