lyrics
I could sit around all day
And write bad verse 'til I was grey
That wouldn't be very hard
I could dream scenarios
And wish that you would kiss my toes
But why would I want to do that?
I could wildly fantasize
Let reason go to its demise
I've done that before
I could get your name tattooed
And let your smile improve my mood
But why would I want to do that?
Why would I do something so dangerous?
Why would I do something so rash?
Why get worked up - - oh, what's the point
Of getting my nose all out of joint
Why would I let myself go to the edge?
Why should I stay awake all night?
I'm gonna get through this - - oh, I insist
No matter what I shall resist
You should stay away from me
Shut me out, gradually
I think that would be best
I don't want to be your friend
That's a choice I can defend
But I know better than that
I have been through this before
Every time it's been a chore
I won't soon forget
I should learn from my mistakes
Grab the reins - - hit the brakes
I think I'll try doing that
Why should I do something that I'll regret?
Why should I question what I know
It won't end well if I obsess
No matter what, I won't regress
Why should I stumble down the primrose path?
Why would I plunge the dagger in?
I'll take control - - oh, what's the use
Of letting my thoughts run fast and loose?
Time its gonna take some time gonna take some lies
And write bad verse 'til I was grey
That wouldn't be very hard
I could dream scenarios
And wish that you would kiss my toes
But why would I want to do that?
I could wildly fantasize
Let reason go to its demise
I've done that before
I could get your name tattooed
And let your smile improve my mood
But why would I want to do that?
Why would I do something so dangerous?
Why would I do something so rash?
Why get worked up - - oh, what's the point
Of getting my nose all out of joint
Why would I let myself go to the edge?
Why should I stay awake all night?
I'm gonna get through this - - oh, I insist
No matter what I shall resist
You should stay away from me
Shut me out, gradually
I think that would be best
I don't want to be your friend
That's a choice I can defend
But I know better than that
I have been through this before
Every time it's been a chore
I won't soon forget
I should learn from my mistakes
Grab the reins - - hit the brakes
I think I'll try doing that
Why should I do something that I'll regret?
Why should I question what I know
It won't end well if I obsess
No matter what, I won't regress
Why should I stumble down the primrose path?
Why would I plunge the dagger in?
I'll take control - - oh, what's the use
Of letting my thoughts run fast and loose?
Time its gonna take some time gonna take some lies
