I Am Not The Only Cowboy Lyrics - Singles - Josh Joplin Group

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 that 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 

Wake me up, take me out 

Calm me down when I'm in doubt 

And I'm in doubt 

Everyday 

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 

Who's catching more than kids 

Wake me up, take me out 

Calm me down when I'm in doubt 

And I'm in doubt 

And so it ends as it begins 

As everything that is infinite ascends 

Into its 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 

And 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 

Wake me up, take me out 

Calm me down when I'm in doubt 

And I'm in doubt 

Everyday 

And it starts like this, we crave to be kissed 

By a moment complete in its happiness 

We are ourselves eventually 

Eventually, eventually 

I am not the only cowboy 

In this one horse metaphor
