Tonight We´re Gonna Give It 35%

Tonight We´re Gonna Give It 35%

Against Me!
(album: Reinventing Axl Rose)

We drank bottled water together and talked business.
I think I played the right moves.
You were lookin´ over my shoulder,
as I went through the motions of another night,
And it was alright,
´cause I thought I knew who everybody was just by lookin´ at them.
My heart is anywhere but here,
and how tired I was from the past couple of weeks,
From the past couple of years.
Well, it hit me all at once,
On a balcony overlooking nothing,
With snow falling all around,
Well I, I called just to say "Goodnight".
And you hadn´t done anything wrong,
And know, really, really, it´s me not you.
I can´t believe how naive I was to think things could ever be so simple,
And can you live with what you know about yourself,
When you´re all alone, behind closed doors?
The things we never said, but we always knew were right there.
It´s got me on my knees in a bathroom,
Praying to a God that I don´t even believe in,
"Well, dear Jesus, are you listening?
If this is the one chance that really matters,
Well, don´t let me fuck this up.
If you´d told me about all this when I was fifteen,
I never would have believed it."
