Song Lyrics

Your mother wanted to name you Aaron but her body billed you as a different man
And my friend if you want me to I'll call you Aaron
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, Aaron I can

You sing your song with your back turned to me, your body's shaking, voice certain still
And if closing my eyes will love you turn around Aaron
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, I will, Aaron I will

And the water's warm but it still stings your shins when you are wading in
And it's rain that swim my feet so wet, the sweat of our bodies coming and filling it in

Your father wanted to take you shopping for something to wear on his wedding day
And when I saw you standing there with your shirt tucked in well
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, Aaron I caved

And the water's warm but it still stings your shins when you are wading in
And it's rain that swim my feet so wet, the sweat of our bodies coming and filling it in

You live your life with your back turned to me, your body's swaying, voice steady in stance
And if shutting my mouth will help you turn around Aaron
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, Aaron I can
