I Am Not The Only Cowboy Lyrics

And it starts like this we crave to be kissed 

by a moment complete in its happiness 

Far away from the things that we wish to escape 

that lead us to think we are not awake 

We are ourselves despite ourselves 

this place gets smaller as the universe swells 

We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually. 

I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor 

And I am not the only life guard who's 

washed up on the shore 



CHORUS: Wake me up take me out 

Calm me down when I'm in doubt 

And I'm in doubt 

Everyday 



And words are like weight with density and shape modifying forms they 

evaporate 

You can choose the truth you can listen to light 

you can lead the charge and still loose the fight 

Far be it for me to claim anything 

for I am just one in a state of being 

I come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually 

I am not the only proverb that never really fits 

And I am not the only Caulfield catching more than kids 



CHORUS 



And so it ends as it begins as everything 

that is infinite ascends 

Into it's time all things pass all things fade all things last 

You are yourself despite yourself 

this world grows smaller as the universe swells 

We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually 

I am not the only boxer that hasn't words to write 

And I am not the only poet who's much too scared to fight 



CHORUS 



And it starts like this we crave to be kissed 

by a moment complete in its happiness 



I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
