A funny thing has happened to me lately The things I used to do just seem to pain me The work I did to feel invigorated Escapes me when she walks into the room I stride on through the weeks as though I've purpose But the weight of paying bills just makes me nervous When she goes to sleep I plot our fortune Forgetting to leave most of it to chance I pull the curtain, go to bed Hush the voices in my head Trouble gently disappears from view I lay beside you in the dark With just the beating of your heart I know the best of me is here with you I've learned that good things should be moderated It doesn't seem to stop me getting wasted So I'll behave for just another fortnight Before visiting my old forgotten self We left a thousand hotels with a headache The solitude a constant friend to heartbreak And drove around the world in search of something Not knowing that it had an eye on me Clean the kitchen, do the dishes As I heal I cut my stitches Slowly I recover from my wounds I lay beside you in the dark With just the beating of your heart I know the best of me is here with you The engine never stops its humming And I may never cease my running But as the miles are keeping score I know what I'm playing for I dig around inside of my intentions For my love has been a source of some contention I've hurt the ones who look at me so clearly And choked on all my habits with a smile
