Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I left your house when you were sleeping Hadn't correctly got my head screwed on Tried to find a way to write a note Couldn't get your shower to work I sort of wish that it was raining So that I could pull the hood up on my coat I'm always happy to be leaving Could be the company I'm keeping Like when you're looking for your shades Riflin' through your pockets And you find them on your face Ooh I can't escape it, abnormal behavior Uncontrollably vapor And on, 'bout some Thing done Sooner or later This strange little arrangement And all of its exchanges Must cease Shouldn't have come back Shouldn't have switched it on at all Didn't mean to hold you so close But you know how it goes I sort of wish that it was sunset I kind of wish that it was New Year's Day On a vacant street I cast a long-eyed shadow Like when you're looking for your shades Rifling through your pockets And you find them on your face Walking around in a daze I don't want to stop it Baby let you trade Ooh I can't escape it Abnormal behavior, uncontrollably vapor And on about some Thing done Sooner or later This strange little arrangement And all of its exchanges Must cease Not easy to see where to go The misty middle twist and swallow The curves are the only part I know And maybe takes a side of cool
