lyrics

Let me explain
I’ve had a lot of time alone to think about the past and the pain oh
When nothing goes right it can be hard to embrace a change ah ooh
But the feeling goes away when I find myself lost in your eyes oh
And when you let your hair down it’s enough to make proud men cry
What are you doing tonight?

You can catch me on the other side

When desperation calls me by name
I’ll greet it like an old friend
I am on the edge

When we spoke
Forgive me for trying to make you laugh at all of my jokes oh
But humor's the only way I can keep myself afloat ah ooh
But it’s no substitution for the feeling when you walk past me oh
And it’s no consolation for the way you’re avoiding me
And by the end of the night what else is there for us to do? Oh
If we could get out of here I’d love to take a walk with you ah ooh
Try as I might I just can’t pry myself away oh
I seen this ending before but what can I say?

When desperation calls me by name
I’ll greet it like an old friend
I am on the edge

Where do we go?
Things could be so much better if I could only know ah ooh
One of these days we’ll get you out to one of my shows oh
In a crowd full of girls you’re the only one I can see ah ooh
But it’s not your fault there’s nobody to blame but me oh
I’m blaming me
