Intro/Verse:
I promise
everything’s alright, it’s just I think of you some
times
I like to
stay up after midnight and listen for the chimes
We used to
hear…so loud and
clear
But I
haven’t heard that
song in years
Chorus:
A wise old
man was once heard to
say
“The things that always cause us the most pain
Are those from
which we are always
The
least prepared to walk away
That’s
probably why I
had you on the
brain.
Verse 2:
When I
learned I couldn’t count on you when I was my most
desperate
When
nothing that you said was true, and breaking down my es-
p-rit des
corps (…) was your most beloved
chore
Still I couldn’t close the iron door
I
saved a little face; it was a fool’s
economy
It
ended in disgrace, screaming “get the hell away from me”
I
put you in your place. I knew you wouldn’t stay there
But you
had such vulgar taste, you even
had the gall to
ask for car fare
Chorus 2:
I thought of
calling you up yesterda
y,
And then I came rushing back to my good senses
It was all
I could do just to obey:
I started hearing voices
warning me to
make good choices
Solo break (if you keep it at all, which if you’re playing by yourself, I wouldn’t)/Verse 3:
I
saw your shadow play and thought “What kind of
farce is this?”
But
what I said was “a dying breed.” Your smile was disarming
‘Cause
nothing is more charming than a narcissist with whom you’ve just ag
reed
Make good
choices, thank you
very much in
deed
Chorus 3:
I used to
dream of you nightly; I would
wake up screaming
I’ll try to
put it politely: when
you’re not near my heart rejoices. Don’t come near me, make good choices.
Your face was
perfectly straight; you said that, “
Basically,
Most
people hate their friends,” and
I say it depends- I have so
much, so much I want to tell you,
And
nowhere to be
gin.
