|
All these dress rehearsals |
|
And I still insist on wearing the pants |
|
I lead when we dance |
|
Back-seat drive from the left side of the wheel |
|
And I wonder why I feel |
|
I killed the romance |
|
I lead when we dance |
|
|
|
# I thought I had come to the table |
|
With more than just a knife |
|
And a hunger aching and unstable |
|
I believed I was ready I was able # |
|
I believed I was ready I was able |
|
I believed I was ready I was able |
|
|
|
I'll take a breath 'tween these verses |
|
Suffocate this murder kill the only chance |
|
I'll plead innocence |
|
Black and blue swear no blood had touched my hands |
|
But there's no fun in kicking |
|
And donning the gloves |
|
Against the one that you love |
|
The one that you love |
|
|
|
Repeat # |
|
I believed I was ready, I was able |
|
I believed I was ready, I was able |
|
|
|
I'll rest my hand on your shoulder |
|
As long as yours don't wonder under the belt |
|
There are rules to be held |
|
I'll step back if you come forward a step |
|
And if you take the stand and |
|
Confess you don't know any less |
|
That at average we're worst |
|
And on a good day we're blessed |
|
|
|
Repeat # |
|
|
|
Closer to the grave from the cradle |
|
If there is just one life |
|
Then compliment the sweet with some salt |
|
'Cause I believe we are ready, we are able |
|
I believe we are ready, we are able |
|
I believe we are ready, we are able |
|
Now I believe I am ready, I am able |
|
Able, able |
