🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

Was the best of times
Don't know who's tellin' this lie
I might have needed it when I was stupid and young
Now I'm old and dumb
 
Was the worst of times
Rings so much truer to me
Sometimes I want it so bad
I refuse to believe it ain't ever gonna happen for me
It's a tale that's to good to believe
 
Simple man says simple things
Don't know what else I can bring
I wrote you a note in my blood, then licked my wounds
Still think that I died in the womb
 
It was the best of times
Still get choked up on that line
A friend of mine said, I'll sleep when I'm dead
And I pray that's true
I'm tired and I'm through
 
Baby, why don't we just turn that TV off?
Three hundred fifteen channels of nothing but bad news on
Well, it might be me but the way I see it
The whole wide world has gone crazy
So baby, why don't we just dance?
 
I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end..

I went stumbling through the fog trying to find a reason for the things I told her
She woke up sunny side down and I was still thinking I was too proud to flip her over
Between the champagne hand jobs and the kissing ass by everyone involved
Cocaine rich comes quick and that's why the small dicks have it all
 
Bottles of whisky and bottles of beer
There's a bottle of medicine somewhere round here
 
Half hours on earth
What are they worth?
I don't know

In 27 years, I've drunk 50,000 beers
And they just wash against me
Like the sea into a pier
 
… Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby

And I don't wanna miss a thing
 
Halfway down high street, Andy looks ambivalent
He's probably wondering what I'm doing getting in an ambulance
The paramedic thinks I'm clever cause I play guitar
I think she's clever cause she stops people dying
Anaphylactic and super-hypocondriactic
Should've stayed in bed today
I much prefer the mundane
I take a hit from
An asthma puffer
I do it wrong
I was never good at smoking bongs
 
You see, there's this huge chunk of me missing
It's gone
And I can' feel it, I can't feel it
I can't feel

I did a stupid thing last night
I called you
It's the last time
And maybe tomorrow night, will be the last time...

And I'm one step away from crashing to my knees
 
I wanna make you hungry, then I wanna feed ya
I wanna paint your face like you're my Mona Lisa
I wanna be a champion, I wanna be a loser
I'll even be a clown 'cause I just wanna amuse ya
I wanna be your sex toy, I wanna be your teacher
I wanna be your sin, I wanna be your preacher
I wanna make you love me, then I wanna leave ya
 
We were boxing, we were boxing the stars
We were boxing, you were swinging from Mars
And then the water reached the west coast
And took the power lines, the power lines
And it was me and you
And the whole town underwater

There was nothing we could do
It was dark blue

Dark blue, dark blue,
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
Well I'm here with you
 
I'm probably going on and on
It seems I'm doing more of that these days

I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh, you left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes it's like I'm losing touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
'Cause if I never see your face
I probably wouldn't be this way
 
'Cause it's the first of May, first of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay
The water's not cold baby dip in your big toe
Maybe I'll see you in flagrante delicto
Grass below you, sky above
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing called fucking outside
 
Mayday, mayday, the ship is slowly sinking
They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling
They're all around me circling like vultures
They wanna break me and wash away my colors
Wash away my colors

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay)
We are one and the same
Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away)
Save me if I become my demons
 
"What started as a whisper
slowly turned into a scream
searching for an answer
where the question is unseen
I don't know where you came from
and I didn't know where you've gone
old friends became old strangers
between the darkness and the dawn"

"I listen to a whisper
slowly drift away
silence is the loudest
parting in words you never say
I put, I put your world
into my veins
and now a voiceless symphony
is all that remains"
 
I'm out here testing the maxim
That all good things have to stop
The bar closes at 5
But the big man is just opening shop
 
Speak to me
Won't you speak, sweet angel?
Don't you remember me?
I was God's favorite customer
But now I'm in trouble

Speak to me
Won't you speak, sweet angel?
I need some company
I swear, just one more night longer
 
I'm still drunk and hot, wide awake breathing hard
And now, in just one year's time I've become jealous, rail thin, prone to paranoia when I'm stoned
If this isn't true love someone oughta put me in a home
 
Oh, I must've been a fool back then
To lose somethin' that you can't have again
I've done all that I know to do
And second-guess my every move
I can't help but wonder how it might have been

If I had two dozen roses
And an older bottle of wine
If I really could've hung the moon
Would it change your mind?

If I could cry a little harder
And get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses
Would it change your mind?
 
Don't you just wanna wake up, dark as a lake?
Smelling like a bonfire, lost in a haze?
If you're drunk on life, babe, I think it's great
But while in this world
I think I'll take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You're too sweet for me
You're too sweet for me
