Story Behind the Song
While conversing with an ex-soulmate at a party, a band member heard his former significant other tell a really depressing story of how short she was selling herself in her current below-board relationship. He got drunker and drunker. She rationalized it all away, saying that it may be illegitimate and tawdry but he "takes care of her and it's all about winning." He got steadily drunker and drunker. He slurred,"How do you do this?" She said,"It's easy!" He thought about how much he cared for her even still as he searched a stranger's cabinets for the harder stuff.
Lyrics
Your river's deep and your mountain's high,
Baby, you don't know why. Maybe now
I don't feel like telling you.
His face is cute and the money's right.
Now you'll be up all night, wonderin'
Who's buying and who's selling who?
I appreciate your candor
And your honesty.
You won't see me. You won't free me.
Too late for me.
Deepest blue and a shade of green,
If you know what I mean.
Nothing can ever take the place of him.
Now you hang on his every word,
Words that you never heard.
You'll never see the slightest trace of him.
Now you radiate your madness and your sanity.
You won't see me. You won't free me.
Too late for me.
(Chorus)
When I'm in two places at one time,
Winning is the last thing on my mind.
God is in between your legs and mine.
What, for you, is easy?
Never taken advantage of
someone down on their love.
That is one thing that I would never do.
But you've been crying for so long now,
Baby, I don't see how there could be any other way for you.
I appreciate your candor and your honesty.
You won't see me. You won't free me.
Too late for me.
(Repeat chorus)
