Common Man Lyrics by Caamp

Boys (Side B)

2016

[Verse 1]
Common man, six-foot tall he stands
Waiting on his date to some company party in France
And oh, she's late, the boss man said, "a quarter till eight"
And as nine rolled around at his watch
He's looking down, the ticking fate
And, oh, the funny thing about love is it makes you wait

[Verse 2]
He wore his good shoes
Now he's walking them home with the homesick blues
Feeling like he fucked up
It's all right he'll get back up because he chooses to
His over-coat, speckled with snow, he walks alone
Notice when he turns his head and sees a girl of which they said the poets wrote

[Chorus]
Don't hesitate, my dear, don't wait, put it all on the line
I'm a leap of faith, my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
I will wait, my dear, till I'm dead or the end of my time
Oh, you let me know you're mine

[Verse 3]
He went insane, oh, the thoughts of her tortured his brain
So he retraced his steps, so he would not forget where she'd been
And she was gone, just the scent of her lingered on
So he lived all of his days with his head stuck in a maze half stoned

[Chorus]
Don't hesitate, my dear, don't wait put it all on the line
I'm a leap of faith my dear, and I'm slipping down your spine
And I will wait, my dear, till I'm dead or the end of my time
Oh, you let me know you're mine
Oh, you let me know that you're mine
