I took a backseat, a backhander

I took her back to her room

Gonna get back to the basics for you, oh yeah

You gotta conscience, a compassion

Got a way with the word

You got a heart full of complacency too

(But it's not like that)

I don't have a purpose or mission

I'm empty by definition

I got a lack girl that you'd love to be

(Up until the day)



*ONLY ON ALBUM VERSION*

You want a diva, a deduction

You wanna do what they do

You wanna do a damage that you can undo

(Up until the day)



Apart from everyone

Away from your life

A part of me belongs

Apart from all of the hurt above



CHORUS

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition

I got a perfect way to make a justification

I got a perfect way to make a ceratin a maybe

I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy



I took a day job, amendment

I took a liking to you

I took a page out of my rulebook for you

You want a message, a confession

You wanna martyr me too

You want a margin of error for two

(But it's not like that)

Maybe tomorrow, the next letter

Or when the weather gets better

I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue

I made an offer, an exception

I made a sense out of you

You took a good look at your book and I knew

(Up until the day)



In times of tenderness, and tears baby so true

Until such time as I can understand the things you do



CHORUS



Want to forgive you for the things that you do

Wanna forget how to remember with you

Maybe tomorrow, the next letter

Or when the weather gets better

I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue



Apart from everyone

Away from your life

A part of me belongs

Apart from all of the hurt above



I got a perfect way to make a new proposition

I got a perfect way to make a justification
