Lyrics
Hopeless— He says that everything is hopeless And now we're old enough to notice it He says we're bound for sure destruction But our eyes have been closed to it Out of sight— Left a letter and left town tonight He said it's better to lay down than fight And as he went [?] she carried off every weapon in sight And she tells him, "I'm like a lit stick of dynamite; I could blow you right down." And I've lost a lot trying to better your clock But whatever you've lost, I've found So don't stop me now; I'm already past the point of trying to figure it out And if what's coming out of your mouth Is just a taste of all the trouble broken figures have found Well then you can't say what you've got on your mind Or wash your hands of everything and write off the time She says they should call you Mr. Kind Because you love ‘em before you leave ‘em behind When the bars close down, I know tomorrow you'll be harder to find And I'm aching now I mean I'm waking up and breaking out I'm throwing off the chains that weighed me down And erase the final fate I've found And I'm losing it by any definition you'd submit I used to fumble when you move your lips, and stumble when you'd pull me down And this love is getting awful rough, and we're both getting knocked around So don't stop me now; I'm already past the point of trying to figure it out And if what's coming out of your mouth Is just a taste of all the trouble broken figures have found Then you can't say what you've got on your mind Or wash your hands of everything and write off the time She says they should call you Mr. Kind Because you love ‘em before you leave ‘em behind And it takes a lot to get her out the love seat And she's lost, but she says she's had enough of me I'm blowing off ambitions that she tried to keep She's having thoughts of spending time in other scenes And like a boss, she's rolling up her rubber sleeves Wash it off about as quickly as her lover bleeds Knees crossed out to live to watch another leave Reason tossed about through fifty thousand other means So, with all broken figures that you tried to be All statisticians that showed you what you had to see All the songs that said we'd live in perfect harmony If you'd just loved enough of me, just loved enough Yeah, and all broken figures that you tried to be ( You said that you thought that I would wait for rains to come ) All statisticians that showed you what you had to see ( No... you're impressed that I was coming on strong ) All the songs that said we'd live in perfect harmony ( I tried to tell you I had said it all wrong, ) If you'd just loved enough of me, just loved enough ( but I guess you don't [?] ) And it takes a lot to get her out the love seat ( [?] when you're set on breaking down ) And she's lost, but she says she's had enough of me ( Yeah, you've shown that you're ready for it now. ) I'm blowing off ambitions that she tried to keep ( Hell, you always have to let it all out. ) She's having thoughts of spending time in other scenes ( So, let it out, just let it out! )
