  • No choice now, it's too late
    Let him go, he gave up
    I gave up
    Lisa says, "Take time for me"
    Dropping him down to his knees
    Ah, chest down

    Take me away
    See I've got to explain
    Things, they have changed
    In such a permanent way
    Life seems unreal
    Can we go back to your place?
    Oh, "You drink too much"
    Makes me drink just the same

    People tried, felt so right
    Giving themselves good advice
    Looking down sometimes felt nice

    He knows it's justified to kill to survive
    He then in dollars makes more dead than alive
    Let's suck more blood, let's run three hours a day
    The world is over but I don't care 'cause

    I am with you
    Now I've got to explain
    Things, they have changed
    In such a permanent way
    Life seems unreal
    Can we go back to your place?
    "You drink too much"
    Makes me drink just the same

    The first time, it happened too fast
    The second time, I thought it would last

    We all like it a little different Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
