lyrics

Funny how life tries to kill you
Any time you try to live it
Can't express the way I need you
But I'm a poet with excuses
Whenever I play cards I seem to leave
My ace up my other jackets sleeve
I would make my peace with someone
If only I could believe

Mary never said that she was waiting

Honestly, I fall asleep
When you look for what's in between
I'm begging you, hold onto me
Cause I used up my gravity

Staying up trying way too hard
To bare my soul again
Do I wanna seem different
Or just plain better than them?
I don't wanna be someone's template
I don't wanna be easy to define
I don't wanna be pointless
I don't wanna be myself all the time

Mary never said that she was waiting
Joseph never signed up
