Black Cat 05:06
A black cat Crosses your path. And now there’s no turning, no Giving it back You better take care of it, Yeah let your love in, Like you at your most generous, or Your most genuine. And I know you and I could be. And I know you and I could be. Come back To your old room. Yeah, it still looks the same With or without you. And you can’t remember her, But you haven’t forgot, no, The sight of her changing, The sight of you not. And I know you and I could be. And I know you and I could be.

Too cool To care. When I wanted you most you Weren’t there. Too cold Inside. Why did your big heart have to Go and die? Cuz every time you’re making him laugh, you know you’re making me cry. You were A queen. Well not quite yet. I guess you were still Waiting. I was A frog. And when we kissed I think I nearly fell Off my log. Cuz every time that I get sad I just go for a jog. But this is hurting me so bad I’ll have to walk it off. Too much To say. Well that’s ok I’ll just Forget it anyway. Too much To say. Well that's ok I'll just Regret it anyway. Too much To say. Well that’s ok I think I’ve Said it anyway.

In your house on A Sunday morning. Will you call me back? In your mouth on A sweaty evening. Will you come To my house In the light Of day? If you took off That look of dreading, I would love you back. If we took on This one night wedding, Would you come To my house In the light Of day?

I wanna talk to you. I wanna talk to you. I wanna talk to you because, Well I guess, I guess I sorta kinda miss you. I want a hole in my head. I want a hole in my head. I want a hole in my head because, Well I guess, I guess I’m sorta still not whole yet. How are you? How are you? How do you do? But who am I to ask you? Yeah, who am I to ask you? I took a trip to the couch To try and figure shit out. There I laid down for an hour or ten, And I found When I woke up that you were still not around. So I took a trip to the mall. I saw a man collapse on the wall. So I said, “Do you need a hand?” But he said, “Not at all. Sometimes you fall when you’re still learning to crawl.” How are you? How are you? How do you do? But who am I to ask you? Yeah, who am I to miss you? You heard me right, I’m moving on To another kind of life. No, I don’t know what it will be like, But one can always hope, right? Into every life a little rain must fall, And you gotta hit the ground with it Because if you don’t, You’ll never realize what it was that Brought the cloud upon your head. Maybe it was something you said. Think I’ll take a trip to the South. See what they’ve been talking about. No, I don’t think I’ll figure it out, But you know and I know Sometimes figuring out isn’t what the trip’s about. I’ve got a hole in my heart. I’ve got a hole in my heart. But now I’m over the hardest part, Cuz I know That once you’re born you’re moving on from the start.

I saw you walking away from me again. It’s hard to leave beneath a thousand miles of ocean. I’m trying to breathe but the waves keep falling, The waves keep falling, the waves keep falling, Down to the bottom of the deep blue sea. Now you and me are tongue in cheek. Cuz we can’t escape each other. No, we can’t escape each other. I caught you sneaking up on me again. I turned around and I froze you with my color vision. I’m starting to wish that we never met, And we never let all our resin set, Cuz we never meant anything we said, But I still can’t get it out of my head. Cuz we can’t escape each other. No, we can’t escape each other. And we can’t forget each other. We’ll have to regret each other. If love is a flame, I smothered it. Now I’m hiding under my covers. I can’t breathe But I can’t leave. And I can’t believe. No, I can’t believe you.
