VERSE:
here’s the thing
yo do your thing…
i’ll do mine…
and then we’ll go our separate ways…
gone tomorrow…
here today…
here’s the thing…
we never know what life can bring…
or take away…
gone tomorrow…
here today…
but before you leave…
please hear me out…
’til my shout becomes a scream…
’til you know exactly what i mean…
ain’t it kinda ironic?
when you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone
so when you left you finally turned me on
however inadvertently…
(GUITAR SOLO)
ain’t it kinda ironic?
we’re platonically in love…
and yet we never speak…
now here’s the catch…
if you count your chicks before they hatch…
they’ll stay away…
BRIDGE:
take me to the friend zone…
check it out…
chicken out…
pretending not to live in a zoo
although we certainly do
barton barn
i’ve resorted to peeing in seas
it’s a powerful disease
i’ve gotta pee in the sea
NO!
i’m gonna fight it instead
lucky you…
you get to live in a zoo
i’ve gotta pee in the sea
let it flow naturally
no!
i’m gonna fight it instead
but i’d rather put my baby to bed
(tuck her in)
lazy eye / clumsy eye / misty eye
i’m gonna work ’til i drop
we’re gonna work up a sweat
we’re gonna fight to the death
sucking out one more breath
pretending not to live in a zoo
i’m gonna heal you instead
OUTRO:
“sister lea”
they say she breathes naturally
like a cool spring
washing it down and never feeling a thing
now i’m finally practicing what i preach…what i preach…
my instant karma’s out of reach…
(momentarily)
i’ve got one load in the oven…
the other loafer’s loafing on a beach…
out of reach…
every beggar’s a chooser…
all my friends will refuse her…
my friends will surely refuse her…
but it’s actually a temporary state…
like water change to ice…
love can change to hate…
and i think i know why…
NICE TRY
