Strokers & Sleeves

from Difficult To Like (demos) by David Safran

lyrics

Life continues: foreign menus
And a dose of adrenalin.
This adult being is floor to ceiling:
A fear of food and medicine;
I’m strikingly good at arrogance;
My life’s rebuilt with none of the guilt,
But the same embarrassments.

Strokers and sleeves, sleeves and strokers.
My loves are these, they never get older.
My loves are these: strokers and sleeves.

Life’s just slow. Some plus points though:
Day-to-day anger and chest pain.
But I found a fan base; I looked in the wrong place—
‘twas not in the world but the bed frame.

The truth is, it’s simple
Connecting with people.
It’s the definition that’s lacking.

Strokers and sleeves, sleeves and strokers.
My loves are these, they never get older.
My loves are these: strokers and sleeves.

I’m still quite pleased, still quite proud of
The things we’re expected to grow out of.
