Lyrics Brendan Benson

Brendan Benson

Eventually

In her past, there's lots of people

I know them by their names

Some of them rushed by like water

And some of them were flames

Each and all knew a different girl

Someone I'd never met

They went with her to parties

Good times, she won't forget

And here I come with empty hands

Ready to receive

And I just hope she doesn't change her mind

And wanna leave

Oh girl, stay right with me

It's gonna get better eventually

Oh girl, stay here with me

It's gonna get better eventually

I came along when she had offers

Offers left and right

I gave her all I had to give

All my best insight

Now she knows the uselessness

The nonsense of it all

Oh, she understands the ways of men

Kicking in their stall

Oh, here I come with empty hands

Ready to receive

And I just hope she doesn't change her mind

And wanna leave

Oh, girl, you got to stay with me

I'll get better eventually

So girl, please stay right here with me

You'll see a change comin' over me

And sometimes when I look at her

I see a different girl

I wonder what she's thinking

And if she is not out of my world

I've got the feeling that I've done harm

No good there, have I done

I see a nervous stress that once was mine

Of which she asks for none

And here I come with empty hands

I'm ready to receive

And I hope that she doesn't change her mind

And wanna leave

Girl, you got to stay here with me

Things are gonna get better eventually

Girl, please stay with me

I feel a change comin' over me

Girl, stay with me

I'm gonna change, [Incomprehensible]

Girl, please stay with me

Oh, things will get better eventually
