Sleep It Off

I've been thinking way, way too much
Put myself in a retrospective mood
I've been thinking so, so much more
Than I ever, ever, ever should
Put it all away
Thinking all about the big
Mistakes I'll repeat with no clue
I think all about the year ahead
And just how I'm gonna' make it through
And I've got to put it all away
And sleep it off
I've been drinking way, way too much
Put myself in a meditative mood
I've been sinking away to a place
Where you'll never find me, but you know you should
Once again I'm faced with those very same two options
I try to change it
But then I'll welcome it in
Because it's so much easier
Yeah

Try Me

Used to wake up early in the morning
With the promises of time that was to spent
Bu away it went
To where, I don't know
So it just goes to show
As far as I'm concerned
There's much left to be learned
But I'll still dream my dream
And I'll still put me first
And that's fine by me (by me)
And that's fine by me
It's the Leonard Cohen cryptic lyrics
That he writes about me, with his cynical tone
I guess that's his own way
To even the score
Now he keeps me in a drawer beside his bed
Where he rests his head
And he dreams his dreams
But they're of her instead
And that's fine by me (by me)
And that's fine by me (try me)
It's the bouncing back and forth
That makes everything seem so short-handed
All of the time
I'm always in a bind
It never seems to end
And I just need a friend who understands
That I might need a hand
To help me keep my dream
Whenever I change plans
And that's fine by me (by me)
And that's fine by me (try me)

Cigarette

I always loved the way you held your cigarette
You never, you never held me like that
You never needed me the way you need you nicotine
I always loved the way you held your cigarette
Even though it's such a nasty habit
You see, I was guilty too
My nasty habit was loving you
Breathe
Breathe in and exhale
I always loved the way you held your cigarette
You always said it was something you could never live without
But I always got the feeling you could definitely live without me
I always loved the way you held your cigarette
Inhale and exhale, then repeat again
I think those things got to touch your lips
More often than I ever did
Breathe
(Why don't you ever breathe me in?
Why don't you ever need me?)
Breathe in
(Why don't you ever breathe me in?
Why don't you need me?)
Breathe in and exhale
I always loved the way you held your cigarette
Even though I tried, in vain, to make you quit
Well, you never quit the did
But you sure quit on me

Whole New Person To Be

I had a friend
Thought she was really neat
She met a cooler friend
At least that's the word on the street
And now it's like I never see her out
At all the places
We used to go
I guess she's found cooler places to be
I had a friend
Thought she was really super
She met a cooler friend
Now I never hear from her
And when I run into her
She acts out of it
And seems to be somewhere else
I believe she's found a whole new scene
But where did she go?
Have you seen her around?
Where did she go?
I fear she's only going down
I guess she's found a whole new person to be

Dig Those Sounds

You would think I would have caught on
When I found out he was selfish
Or when our fighting wouldn't end
You would think it would be obvious is was never gonna' work
When he couldn't get along with my friends
You would think it would have sunken in that we weren't a match
When I was happy, he was in a bad mood
But it was when e told me that he didn't like the Beach Boys
I knew our relationship was doomed
"I don't wanna' listen to some guy singing about his car"
That's what he told me
I was shocked as hell
And he followed up by saying
All those songs about surfing could never ever ring his bell
So now I throw on Pet Sounds every day
I crank it up
I dance around
One day I asked, "What about a song like Wouldn't It Be Nice?
No talk of cars or surfing to be heard"
He shrugged and looked away
He said, "This conversation's over"
So I had to kick him to the curb
And now I throw on Pet Sounds every day
(I crank it up I dance around
I turn it up, yeah)
I crank it up
I dance around
(I dance all around, wah-ooh)
I'll get my good vibrations another way
I'll find someone else who digs those sounds
