Geese

You do not have to be anything better
But, my darlin', you cannot live like this forever
Like wild geese flying towards something
You do not have to do good
But you cannot do nothing

The animal watching and letting you live
You cannot offer up something that was not yours to give
And I'm doing the talking how I do in my sleep
Just forgive me for wanting everything that you need

And I'm pretty as ever, but it's never enough
What is chasing your brother?
What is testing your luck?
And there's a hole in the center
You can see through the crack
It was there when you left
And it will be there when you come back
