lyrics

I’m bogged down but I’m too polite to say
I messed up and I start to feel this way
I’m hard-pressed and you know it’s just the way I am
I tore down every picture on the wall We made plans and you still forget to call
I vacate with the words and it’s the way I am

But when I take back all the things I made up the heir And when I take back everything I meant to you

I’ll stay up the stairs and down the road and
She loves me and I’m holding onto her but I can’t stay

She’s fine but she’s got a lot to learn
I’m face down and it’s none of my concern
I’m dead set on the way she looks into my eyes
It’s too bad that we live so far away
The next time that I start to pull away
I let go of the words and it’s the way I am

But when I take back all the things I made up the heir
And when I take back everything I meant to you
I’ll stay up the stairs and down the road and
She loves me and I’m holding onto her but I can’t stay
