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 a damage that you can undo
You wanna do what they do
(Up until the day)
Apart from everyone
A part of me belongs
Away from your life
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
(But it's not like that)
You want a margin of error for two
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter
I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue
Or when the weather gets better
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
Wanna forget how to remember with you
Want to forgive you for the things that you do
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter
I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue
Or when the weather gets better
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
