Verse 1
Mom and dad can't
remember if I told you
how glad I am I
finally got to know you
Years from when we
met after I left home
Let me sing you sweet
and distant fictions
On lonely nights you
will lay and listen
If you don't like it
wait until I fix it
Verse 2
Then morning comes and
cops invade my conscience
I run around
the house A heated atom
Can't foresee the outcome
but you can lean to one side
If ever I should seem
to take for gradated
this lovely life that
I have been handed
darling don't just stand
there come knock me around
because
Chorus 1
I know I can write my
way out of this black hole
Back to all the
things that I miss
Sometimes I wonder
if I even exist
Add another line
to my wish list
Verse 3
The overview is
not the same
as going through
the present joy
and all it took
to come to this
to know the ending
would be pretending
They took my words and
wrote them off as passing
It pissed me off enough
to keep m writing
Go make your living boy
I'll go on fighting cause
Chorus 2
I know I can write my
way out of this black hole
Back to all the
things that I miss
You stay digging at
your own little ditch
That's just another
thing on my wish list
Bridge
If I should slide
over and under
you know I just might stay
till I get it right
Guitar solo
Verse 4
Some people say I'm
corny or I'm morbid
I always thought I
was touching I was tragic
One man's magic
is another's plastic
Well which one is it?
Am I sweetness?
Am I sickness?
If I say both you will
say I lack commitment
Of course you're right
Of course I'm right but
Chorus 3
I know I can write
my way out of
this black hole
Back to all the
things that I miss
Sometimes I don't
even know you exist
That's just another
thing on my wish list
