[Verse 1]
A firm kick in the pants
This last chance to get things right
This was one time I closed an eye
Looked away from you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Look out for yourself tonight
Sometimes I have to get things right
[Chorus 1]
I never meant what I said to you
Give up all the things that you love to do
I'd never guessed that you'd do me wrong
I'll never accept that dance and song
[Verse 2]
A little time to adjust would be just
What we need
I've meant to tell you what I think, that you think
When I cross your mind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Forgone, stressed at the light
What's wrong with bein' uptight
[Chorus 2]
I never say what I intend to
But does it mean that much to you?
I'd a close call with a glitch in time
Are you really that happy to be mine?
[Post-Chorus]
No I'm not disguisin' all that fighting
And dreams not coming true
[Bridge]
I will play some light from the sun
The world by my side
And I will see dawn as a forlorn
Maiden in the sky
And I will play a song of thunder
You may recognize
You make a never that's forever
Knowing what you deny
[Verse 3]
When I revisit the past, it's a blast
I've just gotta move on
I've just let down someone I relied on
And I don't see why
[Pre-Chorus]
How'd we pretty up that speech
MC talking through me
[Chorus 3]
I've never done what I've set out to do
Don't come to me 'cause I'll run from you
Left out of life, would I really care?
Not a whole lot, there's nothing for me there
[Outro]
I'll never forget the limits that we set
Back when it was our moon
I never made a pretense of living with good sense
It's really not my strong suit
