I wish I drank tequila
|
I wish I stayed up late
|
But lately when the sandman comes
|
You know I just can't wait
|
No lately I can't wait
|
|
And we packed up all your boxes
|
It's all been hauled away
|
I never stare at walls so bare
|
'Cause something always stays
|
Yeah something of you stays
|
|
And I wanna shout from my guitar
|
Come out come out wherever you are
|
The joke is over open up your eyes
|
A heart like yours it never dies
|
And I found your keys behind your chair
|
I still can see you sitting there
|
This isn't funny don't fool around
|
You let me go... you let me down
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
And I guess I'm still pretty angry
|
And I don't want to be
|
I don't know which was the bigger waste of time
|
Missing you or wishing instead it was me
|
|
I wish I walked on water
|
Pulling rabbits from my sleeve
|
Guessing cards and saving everyone
|
I wish I still believed
|
Oh I wish that I believed
|
|
That I could also channel voices
|
That I've endured the burning blade
|
That I could make some of your choices
|
I wish I weren't afraid
|
Of those choices that you made
|
|
Like I could give you what you need
|
So ally ally oxen free
|
The game is up and I give in
|
So show yourself so that you can win
|
Come claim your prize and I don't care
|
I still can see you standing there
|
How could you leave, how could you lie
|
You cut me off in mid reply
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
|
The will to win the urge to race
|
I still can see it on your face
|
Thought I'd keep up but only crashed
|
I wasn't built to move that fast
|
Thought I could match you stride for stride
|
But I was on the other side
|
And holding on to the safety rail
|
With knuckles white complexion pale
|
A cloud of dust and you were gone
|
Thought I would catch you later on
|
I limped behind your race was won
|
But were you racing or on the run?
|
How you enjoyed, you loved to drive
|
And I'm destroyed... 'cause I'm alive
|
'Cause I'm alive
|
|
(CHORUS X2)
