i could catch up to where you are |
|
and see if we can make it right |
|
if i thought meeting you somewhere in the dark |
|
was gonna shed any new light |
|
oh we'd sit around, we'd talk awhile |
|
make polite excuses |
|
but the cat has my tongue and i'm not saying much |
|
'cause i get shy around bullshit |
|
my new time-piece, is watching ice melt |
|
down the bottom of my glass |
|
and i love to watch them fuses burn |
|
down towards their future plans |
|
get me thinking about - it's time to empty out |
|
these pockets of their idle hands |
|
and sing la da dadada la da dadada |
|
lock all the doors, pull the phone from the wall, run and hide |
|
oh i used to be, i used to be such a nice guy |
|
maybe clarity will creep up on me |
|
and reset my senses like a clock |
|
and you'll convince me that your reality |
|
is a better idea than the one that i've got |
|
and you'll give me a second chance at my second chance |
|
and we will laugh about my near miss |
|
and the good lord will reward my ignorance |
|
with a little bliss |
|
and i'll see a welcome face in the mirro that i don't recognise |
|
oh i used to be, i used to be such a nice guy |
|
but now the details are vague, it's so strange, like a previous life |
|
oh i used to be such a nice guy |
|
but now you say i don't know when to admit that i'm lost - |
|
when to stubbornly insist that i'm not |
|
oh dear bless every thought in your thoughtful head |
