I've become a stranger in the prison of my own skin
Watching you light up like a Christmas tree on the hottest day in spring
You were the resolution in the year of the black cat that I couldn't keep
Making out like a bandit selling candles from your mansion under the sea
Yea maybe I've become a little bit jealous of the way you've made out in your life
I thought the words you spoke under the oath of blood bound us to our never-ending fight
And I know we're grown-ups and we're supposed to be able to take it all in stride
But I'm a little bit uneasy about tonight
Yea I'm a little bit uneasy about tonight
Under the pressure of living up to the man that you want me to be
I guess I lost my sense of direction and turned my back on the things that mattered to me
You took it all on the chin, looking back you were my only friend
So, that's what I wanted to tell you tonight, I wanted to look you in the eye
Into those gorgeous big green eyes
Ten years down the road we'll look back and be thankful for the good times that we had
But that don't make it easier for me to lose my only source of light in a world gone black
And I know we're grown-ups and we're supposed to be able to take it all in stride
But I'm a little bit uneasy about tonight
But I'm a little bit uneasy about tonight
Take it easy on me tonight
But I'm a little bit uneasy about tonight
Take it easy on me
