lyrics

Guess what: Another day; another pretty girl –
what’s another pretty face to a wretch like me?
Looking in the mirror, thinking I’m anything other than a waster with a sham degree.
Why must I be so shy?
What’s life but wasted time?
She’s got demons just like mine
So I’m picking up the signals but did she really mean it that way?
No, of course she didn’t.
I guess that’s that – good riddance.
Hiding all my feelings underneath a hundred rulings –
self-inflicted ‘cause it’s safer that way.

So that’s that …

So safe – from what? A moment in time?
You think you know the answer so you won’t even try?
For that smile; the spine; the presence of mind;
the hook that lines your vocal chords; the grey in your eyes?

Where’s your safety in numbers now?
Etch it in; itch your skin.
#11982:
All that I am; all that I do.

… but I get back on the horse;
I slit my throat, keep moving on – like that song –
‘cause if I don’t I’ll miss my boat.
Remember how I’m waiting there forever but it won’t?
Plus it’s date night. If it’s a late night, maybe it could be my night,
but I’m fantasising ‘cause I’m home by nine.
Not again … no, not again!
All I think about is: “Could’ve, should’ve, would’ve”
but I’ve never been that good a man.
I can’t abide this, the unrequited.
I say I try but I ain’t got the strength to bite this.
