lyrics

What are you gonna say when she picks up the phone?
Should you leave a message if she’s not at home?
I wanted to know if you’d like to see a movie or get a drink.
It would be cool just to be in your company.
But if she says yes knowing what intentions might be.
If one thing leads to another and there’s some chemistry.
You cannot lie, you have to tell the truth.
You have to explain why this could never be.
That there are things that cannot be undone.
That there are mistakes that will never be forgiven.
Sometimes at night I pray to wake a different person in a different place.

Maybe we could just be friends.
I am being a bit presumptuous.
The stomach turns the mind starts to race, you nervously start to exaggerate.
I just want to be young, I want to live.
I want to be healthy, I don’t want this problem.
You wouldn’t think something like (sexual) irresponsibility
could complicate something like asking for a girl’s company.
But there are things you must accept as said and done.
There are truths you must learn to confront.
You can pray all night and day, you’ll always wake the same person in the same place.

Drunk mouth ruined it again. Sometimes I say the dumbest things. Baby, it’s not you specifically it could be anybody. I’ve gone and built this up in my head and now it’s already over. It’s already over before it started.
