|
I got a fresh tattoo of a broken heart |
|
You'd think |
|
I'd learn by now but |
|
I ain't that smart |
|
Got a pocket full of nothing, a head full of lukewarm beer. |
|
I just wanted to make myself feel good |
|
Feel like |
|
I'd been understood |
|
I was wrong, |
|
I've been wrong three times this year. |
|
I pushed off from shore in this leaky boat |
|
With my only friend a bottle o' whiskey and my coat |
|
I was gonna drown my sorrows, discuss my attitude. |
|
I lay down on my back, |
|
I started to curse |
|
Insulted every planet in the universe |
|
Hey Jupiter if you're listening, |
|
I didn't mean to be that rude.[chorus] |
|
Hey la la la, |
|
Hey la la la, |
|
Hey la la la, |
|
How hard can it be? |
|
Hey la la la, |
|
Hey la la la, |
|
Hey la la la, |
|
How hard can it be? |
|
Let me tell you now, |
|
I've just run out of whiskey and |
|
I'm stranded out at sea. |
|
Now as the light begins to fade the sun disappears |
|
I see a siren singing in a sea of tears |
|
I know it's you, |
|
I can tell by your hair. |
|
And my pulse starts to quicken as |
|
I row through the tide |
|
I wanna lay my head down at your side |
|
Then you slip into the sea, you're gone, that ain't fair. |
|
That sea was as black as a pirate's soul |
|
A black velvet bag, a big dark hole |
|
Just reflections of the mocking moon above. |
|
Then a shooting star shot across the skies |
|
It was then |
|
I began to realize |
|
I would give it all away if |
|
I could have your love.[chorus] |
|
Now I pulled myself together, had a little chat |
|
With my empty bottle, and this little cat |
|
He'd been hiding, he'd been there for a while |
|
Well I told him how |
|
I missed you how you made me feel |
|
And even though that cat wasn't real |
|
He cheered me up and he made me smile |
|
I stood up in that boat, |
|
I laughed 'til |
|
I criedI danced a little two-step with my pride |
|
Then I thought about jumping in again |
|
I was so alone. |
|
Well you know |
|
I couldn't do it cuz |
|
I'm standing here |
|
It may have been the liquor, may have been the fear |
|
Besides how would that cat have got back home?[chorus x 2] |
