You’ve Got Your Work Cut Out For You, Baby

She’s got you wrapped up like a present to herself.

She’s got you so messed up you’re running in circles.

Chase your tail, chase her, oh you chase her away,

But you follow her, cause there’s no use going any other way.

 

Juliet will never say yes if you make her cry,

And honey, those blue eyes, are rarely ever running dry,

You’ve got your work cut out with that one baby,

You know could kill you maybe,

Still got that look in your eye, like I’m gonna try,

Cause if it’s worth it it’ll kill me just barely.

 

She’s got you focused like a butterfly net,

With just one intention,

Chase her, catch her, but you chase her away.

But you follow her, cause there’s no use going any other way.

 

Juliet will never say yes if you make her cry,

And honey, those blue eyes, are rarely ever running dry,

You’ve got your work cut out with that one baby,

You know could kill you maybe,

Still got that look in your eye, like I’m gonna try,

Cause if it’s worth it it’ll kill me just barely.

 

Romeo couldn’t catch his breath,

Like he couldn’t catch her, but he keeps on running.

If he makes it, if he makes it.

Just promise me you’ll never stop trying, baby.

 

I’ll never say yes if you make me cry,

And honey, these blue eyes, don’t ever run dry,

You’ve got your work cut out, if you want me.

You know it could kill you, maybe.

I see that look in your eyes, I wanna try.

Cause if it’s worth it it’ll kill me just barely.

Golden Frames

I keep your pictures

In golden frames.

 

The rain on a rainy day,

You hit the pavement with a frightening grace.

I find you on my mind,

Just a little more than I’d like.

Bottom

Every mirror cracked is just another pretty face

That’ll never see itself right

Every voice raised is just another set of notes

That’ll never get heard right

 

They never tell you how

But someway you get broken

Each and every time they come around

They never tell you how.

 

Hitting that bottom, better than waiting for the bottom,

The bottom comes falling out.

Hitting that bottom, better than waiting for the bottom,

The bottom, watch it all fall out.

They never ever catch you.

 

Your dreams seem a waste, today,

Cause tomorrow’s what you’re praying for.

Every voice raised hidden behind,

Just one more closed door.

 

They never tell you how

But someway you get broken

Each and every time they come around

They never tell you how.

 

Hitting that bottom, better than waiting for the bottom,

The bottom comes falling out.

Hitting that bottom, better than waiting for the bottom,

The bottom, watch it all fall out.

They never ever catch you.

 

Every star dropped down for you,

Every winter came and gone, without a night time sun.

Now lonely sleeps the moon.

Just one more evening you never saw the face of.

Every star dropped down for me,

Every winter came and gone, without my nighttime sun.

Now the moon so lonely sleeps,

Just one more evening, I never saw your face, oh.

 

Hitting that bottom, better than waiting for the bottom,

The bottom comes falling out.

Hitting that bottom, better than waiting for the bottom,

The bottom, watch it all fall out.

They never ever catch you.

They never tell you how,

Oh they never catch you.

They never tell you how,

Oh they never catch you.

Better than waiting for the bottom.

Better than waiting for the bottom.
