Silently, I stare at the wall
Wishin' that I was six feet tall, yeah
The irony is wasted on those who choose to waste it
What am I talkin' about?
Another night, I'd rather be drunk again
Oh, what I would do to be in your shoes
And to have it my way
'Cause everytime that it feels like it's turnin' around
It never seems to stay (Oh, yeah)
Time and time again
I gotta cover my back
Never ever catchin' my breath
Oh, another day and night
I got a pain in my chest
Dyin' trying to take one step
I was lookin' at myself in the mirror, ooh
No not in the vain kind of way
But to reflect, I wonder how I wound up here
Oh, you tsk and disapprove of it
I'm writin' the story so you can't say shit
By my own device, I think I'm losing my mind
But honey, if they ask I'm fine
Oh, what I would do to be in your shoes
And to have it my way
'Cause everytime that it feels like it's turnin' around
It never seems to stay (Oh, yeah)
Time and time again
I gotta cover my back
Never ever catchin' my breath
Oh, another day and night
I got a pain in my chest
Dyin' trying to take one step
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, they wanna know how I've been
The way it goes
But you know
I'm the same just like yesterday, yeah
Whoa no, just let me be
I'm just trying to live
So won't you let me dream? Oh
Oh, what I would do? Yeah, hmm
Oh, what I would do? Yeah
Oh, what I would do to be in your shoes
And to have it my way
Everytime that it feels like it's turnin' around
It never seems to stay (Ah, yeah)
Time and time again
I gotta cover my back
Never ever catchin' my breath
Oh, another day and night
I got a pain in my chest
Dyin' trying to take one
Now watch me take one
