lyrics

I wanna lay here, lay here and sleep
I don’t wanna talk, nobody’s talking to me

I thought I’d braced myself; your words cut right through
nothing makes your head spin like a goddamn déjà vu

so I wanna lay here, lay here and sleep
all my friends are falling in love, but who the hell loves me?

I knew your words before the phone even rang
and at least I still have the old songs that I sang

so I wanna lay here, lay here and sleep
and maybe somewhere down the line
my friends will have time for me

nothing’s ever gone quite right, it’s not like in my mind
when everybody’s going places, leaving me behind

so I wanna lay here, lay here and sleep
I don’t wanna talk, who the hell wants to talk to me?

this year is just like the last, maybe even worse
whatever it was I had with you was a blessing and a curse
I wish that I could build something that I could keep
‘cause the bonds you forge in love cut twice as deep

so I wanna lay here, lay here and sleep

Every Word I Spoke Would Have Been Better Unsaid
by montenegro

I will have succeeded as a musician if one day I can imbue my words with half as much soul as Alex Montenegro does on the first track of this record. Plus she's kewl. Junior College
