We all recognise that I’m the problem here
We all recognise that I’m the problem here

It’s impossible to know or so it seems
What I’m supposed to do with you on anything
I know that playing this time is going to fall on me
’Cause we all recognise that I’m the problem here

Can’t help but feel attacked, what’s that supposed to mean
I know I won’t relax or act like it’s no big deal
This happens all the time; it’s kind of our routine
But we all recognise that I’m the problem here

We all recognise that I’m the problem here
We all recognise that I’m the problem here
We all recognise that I’m the problem here
We all recognise that I’m the problem

. . .


I realize that I'm just naturally inclined
to go and let you down, alright
I've heard this argument made thousand of times
I guess I get it now, alright
If physics dictates means you're going away
just when the pressure's on, alright
Science will just have to surrender to fate
cuz I won't let you down, all right

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

You know that I wouldn't say
something I didn't mean.
How many times can this be repeated
before you believe that I do believe?
I believe it.

I know that evidence is gonna suggest
that I will let you down, alright
Given our history what can you expect?
I guess I get it now, alright
This might just buckle under all of the weight
now that the pressure's on, alright
All I can ask is that you muster the faith
that I won't let you down, all right

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

You know that I wouldn't say
something I didn't mean.
How many times can this be repeated
before you believe that I do believe it?
I wouldn't say
something I didn't mean.
How many times can this be repeated
before you believe that I do believe?
I believe it.

Oh, I believe it.

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

You know that I wouldn't say
something I didn't mean.
How many times can this be repeated
before you believe that I do believe it?
I wouldn't say
something I didn't mean.
How many times can this be repeated
before you believe that I do believe?
I believe it.

This door is always open,
This door is always open,
No one has the guts to shut us out.
But if we have to go now,
I guess there’s always hope that,
Some place will be serving after hours.

This night is winding down but
Time means nothing,
As always at this hour
Time means nothing,
One final final round cos
Time means nothing,
Say that you’ll stay
Say that you’ll stay

We’re finally drunk enough that,
We’re finally soaking up,
The hours that everyone else throws away.
And if we have to go now,
I guess there’s always hope,
Tomorrow night will be more of the same.

This night is winding down but
Time means nothing,
As always at this hour
Time means nothing,
One final final round cos
Time means nothing,
Say that you’ll stay
Say that you’ll stay
Say that you’ll stay.

We’re all right where we’re supposed to be,
We’re all right where we’re supposed to be,
We’re all right where we’re supposed to be,
(Time means nothing)
We’re all right where we’re supposed to be,
(Time means nothing)

This door is always open,
This door is always open,
No one has the guts to shut us out.
No one has the guts to shut us out.

Time means nothing,
Time means nothing,
One final final round cos
Time means nothing,
Say that you’ll stay
Say that you’ll stay
Say that you’ll stay.

You’re never gonna understand what you’re seeing
But later you’ll pretend you can and you’ll mean it
You might think it’s all in your head but you’re not certain anymore
You might think it’s all in your head but you’re not certain anymore

I wouldn’t put much talk in that ‘cause the fact is
It doesn’t matter what you ask, it’s who you’re asking
Well I’d say go throw it away if it’s not working anymore
Well I’d say go throw it away if it’s not working anymore

I promise this is not a test, it just I want you to be sure
It all comes back to common sense, I guess that’s what you’re looking for
I’ll have to ask you to speak up so we’re sure that
We’re all perfectly clear on what we’re ignoring
Well I’d say go throw it away if it’s not working anymore
Well I’d say go throw it away if it’s not working anymore

I promise this is not a test, it’s just I want you to be sure
It all comes back to common sense, I guess that’s what you’re looking for
I promise this is not a test, it’s just I want you to be sure
It all comes back to common sense, I guess that’s what you’re looking for

Well you’ve been taken and it’s gonna hurt
Love’s a classic ‘cause it always works
This is a classic bluff because it always works on you

I promise this is not a test
A test
I promise this is not a test

I promise this is not a test, it’s just I want you to be sure
It all comes back to common sense, I guess that’s what you’re looking for
I promise this is not a test, it’s just I want you to be sure
It all comes back to common sense, I guess that’s what you’re looking for

. . .


I'm not calming down.
What's this all about?
All I know is I don't need this tone you're taking.

Forget what I said.
For every promise kept
there's a thousand I don't even know I'm making.

So it's time to stop being so impatient.
It's time to stop being so impatient.

Your philosophy
is totally lost on me.
With a promise I don't mean to have you waiting.

That attitude
won't do any good
when the problem's only as you, as you've made it.

So it's time to stop being so impatient.
It's time to stop being so impatient.

Why not try to take it down?
You're gonna have to wait this out
or tell me now
where the fuckin' fire is.

Your philosophy
is totally lost on me.
With a promise I don't mean to have you waiting.

That attitude
won't do any good
when the problem's only as you, as you've made it.

So it's time to stop being so impatient
Well it's time to stop being so impatient
You're so impatient
You're so impatient
You're so impatient

. . .


I want you to stay and I guess I can give you a line
It’s always the same but it works better every time
Just don’t walk away from me
Just don’t walk away from me

Tonight, oh tonight
I promise to
Remember that making promises
Is always a mistake

I end every day trying to think my way out of my line
All I can say is it takes less words every time
Just don’t walk away from me
Just don’t walk away from me

Tonight, oh tonight
I promise to
Remember that making promises
Is always a mistake
Oh tonight I promise to
Remember that making promises
Is always a mistake

So let’s down another dose; understanding is the last thing I want
So let’s down another dose; understanding is the last thing I want
So let’s down another dose; understanding is the last thing I want
So let’s down another dose; understanding is the last thing I want
So let’s down another dose; understanding is the last thing I want
So let’s down another dose; understanding is the last thing I want

Tonight, oh tonight
I promise to
Remember that making promises
Is always a mistake

Listen
I may have given you the wrong impression
This is
Something that I really ought to mention

Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for

Listen
It’s best that we avoid misapprehension
This is
Something that I’d never had intended

Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for
Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for

As far as weakness goes
This one’s hard to beat
I know, I know
I should really feed this thing
Wait and see

As far as these things go
I should never speak
I know, I know
I should really feed this thing
Wait and see

Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for

. . .


I should take my time
I should think this through
You know that not a lot of people have to talk like this
When you allow me life regrets to pass for rhetoric
Well it’s not so much the words you say, it’s how you use your lips

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that there’s no need to move
We’re coming to you, yeah we’re coming to you
Oh no

It’s your place or mine
Just don’t make me choose
You know I know you think you’re saying what I want to hear
But I’m smart enough to recognise a bad idea
Your intentions are transparent, am I making myself clear?

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that there’s no need to move
We’re coming to you, yeah we’re coming to you
I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that there’s no need to move
We’re coming to you, yeah we’re coming to you
I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that there’s no need to move
We’re coming to you, yeah we’re coming to you
I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that there’s no need to move
We’re coming to you, yeah we’re coming to you
Oh no

There’s nothing wrong with asking
What am I supposed to say?
There’s nothing wrong with asking
When every answer sounds the same
There’s nothing wrong with asking
There’s nothing wrong with asking

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that there’s no need to move
We’re coming to you, yeah we’re coming to you
I’m sure by now you’ve noticed that there’s no need to move
We’re coming to you, yeah we’re coming to you
Oh no

. . .


I wouldn't be caught dead with your kind
and all the hot-shot carrying on that you do.
It's your only move.

I wanna see you all buried alive
and I'll be up top carrying on over you,
only for you.

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you once to have high hopes
You're always forgiving, you're always forgiving
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again

You know that we've got some axes to grind.
We've got some sharp-tongue carrying on to do,
it's your only move.

I wanna see you all buried alive
and I'll be up top carrying on over you,
only for you.

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you once to have high hopes
You're always forgiving, you're always forgiving
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again

I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
I asked you once to have high hopes
You're always forgiving, you're always forgiving
I asked you nicely once but I won't do that again
again

. . .


This all has to end, and I oughtta know.
But who could predict the force of the throw?
It helps to pretend to not care at all,
the truth is that I could not want it more.

Soon they will come and pass us by,
a shift in tone, and rise in tide.
To learn to swim, or learn to die,
Are choices I have been left with.

The bigger the break the harder the fall
The hits in this case are too close to call
The stress and the strain are starting to show
This all has to end, and I oughtta know

Soon they will come and pass us by,
a shift in tone, and rise in tide.
To learn to swim, or learn to die,
(To learn to swim or learn to die)
To cast a stone, or cast aside
Soon they will come and pass us by,
a shift in tone, and rise in tide.
(Are the two choices that I)
To learn to swim, or learn to die,
Are choices I have been left with.

It's natural selection,
it's natural selection,
it's natural selection,
so I suggest that we just stop.

. . .


We shouldn't think about last night,
nobody's proud of what they've done.
Oh, let's not argue about what's right,
let's just agree that it was fun, fun

Enough is not enough,
but I keep saying that I'll stop
over and over.
I'm drowning in each drop.

There's not much left for me to do
but try to make another call.
If I'm not waking up with you,
why bother waking up at all?

Enough is not enough,
but I keep saying that I'll stop
over and over.
I know this isn't news,
but I think I'm getting used
to sayin' that I'll go
over and over.

Enough is not enough,
but I keep sayin' that I'll stop
over and over.
I know this isn't news,
but I think I'm getting used
to sayin' that I'll go
over and over.
I'm drowning in each drop,
but enough is not enough.
And I keep saying that I'll stop
over and over.
I know this isn't news.
