Singing In The Bathroom
I was singing in the bathroom When I was staying at your old house
You were sleeping in the next room So I was keeping my voice down
And I was writing you a song About how it's hard to get along
The more you try the faster feelings fade
And I looked up and I saw in that mirror on the wall That I could write you a hundred songs a day
And I could burn through a thousand miles of tape
And even if we were smiled upon by fate
SongtexteThe key is the only thing that would change
From the graveyards to the ballrooms Where I knew you would never stay
Of the laughter and the lightning And the things you never had a chance to say
There was anger and affection And I could no longer tell the two apart
And I saw you there somewhere in the future With new lovers and your same old broken heart
And the sky up above said don't be afraid of love You'll spend your whole life wishing you were someone else
And the plants in the yard said don't take everything so hard There's no perfection, you're actually doing very well
And the trees and the moon
They were pleading with us too
But we refused to hear The things they had to say
And the clouds tried to beg But they were ignored and neglected So they cried and it rained the whole night through
And I crawled back into bed with you
