Matt Nathanson - Measure for Measure lyrics

She said she felt clean, sticky clean if I remember

She said she felt funny asking

and he said he felt funny saying no... but he said no

Alone, she shrank away

Beautiful sun, elegant bright light shining

I will not lay down with you that easy

She spat anxiously, look here at my recommendations

She unfolded the page in front of him

and smoothed it with her hand,

as he looked away

Alone she seethed inside

Beautiful sun, elegant bright light shining

I will not lay down with you that easy

She said nervously, I must have been mistaken

She laughed loud between the apologies

she left ringing in his head,

as she walked away

Alone he fought with his fidelity
