lyrics

WHAT IN THE HELL, AM I DOING HERE?
STANDING OUTSIDE OF YOUR HOUSE KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR
THERE’S STILL TIME TO RUN AND SAVE MYSELF FROM
THE IMPENDING DOOM THAT I’M DOOMED
TO PUT MYSELF THROUGH

WHAT IN THE HELL, ARE WE DONG HERE?
JUST YOU AND ME ALL ALONE ON YOUR COUCH
THE TV IS ON, THE LIGHTS ARE DOWN LOW
INHIBITIONS ARE HIGH AND THE TALKING IS GOING SLOW

AND I WANT TO KISS YOU BUT I DON’T WANT TO ASK YOU
IF YOU FLINCH I THINK I JUST MIGHT DIE
CAUSE SOMEDAY YOU’LL LEAVE ME
(AND BELIEVE ME YOU’LL LEAVE ME)
I JUST DON’T WANT YOU TO LEAVE NOW

A KNOT IN MY GUT, IT’S A BIG CRYSTAL BALL
I’LL SCARE YOU AWAY, IT’S INEVITABLE
I TEND TO FREAK OUT, I PANIC TOO MUCH
WE’VE BEEN OUT THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME I
COULD KILL MYSELF

AND ON MY DEATHBED, WHEN I SAY “ROSEBUD”
YOU CAN BE SURE I’M REFERRING TO YOU
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LEAVE ME
(AND BELIEVE ME YOU’LL LEAVE ME)
I’LL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE…..

WHAT’S ON MY MIND? WHAT I WANT TO SAY
IS HOW I WISH I’D TAKEN PICTURES OF US TODAY
CAUSE TOMORROW YOU’RE GONE AND
I’LL WRITE THIS SONG
AND NO ONE WILL KNOW IN MY HEART
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG

UNTIL ON MY DEATHBED, WHEN I SAY “ROSEBUD”
YOU CAN BE SURE I’M REFERRING TO YOU
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LEAVE ME
(AND BELIEVE ME YOU’LL LEAVE ME)
I’LL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE...

...WONDERING HOW YOU SLIPPED THROUGH MY FINGERS
LIKE WIND THROUGH THE LEAVES OF A TREE
WHERE I CARVED YOU LOVE ME

AND WITH MY LAST BREATH, WHEN I SAY “ROSEBUD”
THE DOCTORS AND NURSES WON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
THEY’LL THINK I WANT MORPHINE WHEN IT’S OF
YOU I’M DREAMING
AND SHRUG AS THEY’RE PULLING THE PLUG
