lyrics

I'm not prone to common sense
My life is built on some grand pretense
That I'm not lost and you don't mean anything to me
And I'm not sure what this life prescribes
I'm set in my ways though I'm open to bribes
But I'm not lost and you don't mean anything to me
And late late up in the night i'd sit
I'm still unsure but it's time to admit
That I'm still lost and you mean everything to me
'Cause you
Tend to take things as they come
But I never came far enough to be someone you'd want

Don't leave me here any longer
I'm not some poor unfortunate soul
And I can wait if that's what it takes
To turn this heart from lead into gold

And now I'm all bent up and caught out in the sun
This was a quickdraw quintessential hit and run
And I'm tired of hoping that you will
hope to be with me
And I'd find you on some distant shore
With that old high school sweater that wasn't even yours
But you wore it well just like I wore my heart on my sleeve
And my days go by like some winter rain
And the sun seldom shines through it's cold refrain
So you take me for granted and granted is what I'll be
'Cause I
Tend to drift away from myself
I constantly put my heart up on the shelf

Don't leave me here any longer
I'm not some poor unfortunate soul
And I can wait if that's what it takes
To turn this heart from lead into gold

We're getting closer now
So you can take your bow and be
The only one to get the better of me

I'm not prone to common sense
My life is built on some grand pretense
That I'm not lost and you don't mean anything to me
And it must have been some cruel twist of fate
You're like a misfortune cookie on a dinner plate
And it's such a shame that you mean everything to me

Don't leave me here any longer
I'm not some poor unfortunate soul
And I can wait if that's what it takes
To turn this heart from lead into gold


I'm going nowhere but someday ill get there
I'm going nowhere but someday ill get there
Don't say this can't be don't leave me lonely

Oh this life is just too overwhelming and you
You mean everything to me
