And so she said to me
“I’m looking at the skylight
And at the break of midnight
One second everything will change
And I’ll be breaking all your rules, right?
Those rules you hold so dearly”
Don’t tell me everything’s okay
that’s easier for you to say
The grass, the life, is so much greener on your side
Of the adventures I could choose
I’d pick the one that ends with you
If I could, if I could
But you’re gone and it’s just chapter 3
So nothing tells me what you’re about
And why did I have to lay myself down
For you to beat down like some Ringling clown
So why did I have to...
Yours truly drinks this one alone so he can get some sleep at night
Yeah right, great nights
As if rest ever came to me.
My sleepless nights, my coffee days
Somehow you still get in my way
If you knew, but you don’t
So if you asked you couldn’t say
So nothing tells me what you’re about
And why did I have to lay myself down
For you to beat down like some Ringling clown
So why did I have to...
Don’t tell me it’s okay
