If the truth be told,   You were in the bedroom   Trying to find a pillow   With a little more headroom   Trying to find a place   Where nobody could find you again      And if the truth be told,   I was on the porch   Trying to fight a fire with a propane torch   Thinking about the color   Of the leaves before they fall   In the fall      And if the truth be told,   Things got weird   All my friends told me I should grow a beard   Can't do that   Don't quit your day job      If the truth be told   He was out of line   Trying to steal your heart before you stole mine   Trying to make a mountain from a molehill      If the truth be told (Knock, knock, who is it?)   Ship's goin' down, do you wanna go with it?   Either way, I'm splitting town ASAP      Wanna know the truth?   I was thinkin' bout ships   In the Halifax Harbor   'fore they blew the city to bits in 1917      If the truth be told   When we were getting drunk   I was trying on clothes   From your mothball trunk   Tryin' to figure out what it feels like   To step inside your shoes      But if the truth be told   If the truth be told   If the truth be told   If the truth be told   If the truth be told   If the truth be told   If the truth be told   If the truth be told   If the truth be told
