lyrics

Why is it that
That I’m not afraid
To say when I’m wrong?
A debt that I pay
It’s one of my strengths
I was right all along
I’m winning the fight
I’m writing the song

A night in the house
A couple of bums
With nothing to do
Except argue on
And talk about nothing
Something
Did you say you’re leaving in the morning?

What do you do when I’m not around?
Are your feet nailed to the ground?
Haven’t you thought about the etiquette?
Or how about playing devil’s advocate

I hope I get to rediscover you
‘Cause I’m running out of things I want to do

Why do you think that I’m getting sick of explaining myself
The same old shit
Just try to relax, and loosen your grip
And just try to catch me when I slip

Oh, but what do you do when I’m not around?
Are your feet nailed to the ground?
Haven’t you thought about the etiquette?
Or how about playing devil’s advocate

I hope I get to rediscover you
‘Cause I’m running out of things I want to do

You know you’re right
I finally found someone who seems to want me around
I’m seeing the light
I’m hearing the sound
I’m feeling the earth
It’s shaking the ground
It’s hurting my head
You’re making it pound
You’re turning me off
You’re turning me on
And finally when
It’s time to be gone
We’ll both move ahead
It’s that kind of sad song

But what do you do when I’m not around?
Are your feet nailed to the ground?
Haven’t you thought about the etiquette?
Or how about playing devil’s advocate

I hope I get to rediscover you
‘Cause I’m running out of things I want to do

But I’m not going anywhere without you
