"It Isn't every day,
we make the same mistakes we've already made.
Today, I lost track of the time,
and sat and waited awhile for you to come by
that old orange house,
wandering, wondering,
if the love will ever grow back again.
A week.
A month.
A year.
However long I've been staying here...
I don't make enough money
to be wasting my time with this bullshit anymore.
I can't go out on dates,
instead I buy shitty well drinks at the local bar.
I could be getting to know
someone else and finding out just where they live.
Instead I'm whispering words of sweet nothing
into the ear of a girl I hardly ever knew at all.
And she seems to be liking it,
but I can't quite tell yet.
My mind's still on other things,
while I've been tripping the day away.
A week.
A month.
A year.
However long I've been staying here.
A year.
Maybe two.
I've lived in the basement.
Between living situations.
Doesn't anybody wanna play?
I've been sitting here for days.
Days and days and days, waiting for someone to say
that everything will be okay,
and I promise everything gets better,
but it never does.
It never does...
So just lock the door behind me when I leave."
