Nines And Tens

Nines And Tens

Life Before This
(album: Life Before This)

I walk in
I hear the record player
The kids are playing video games and counting clouds
This room looks hungry because we all inhale
The remedy, the tonic leaf. It´s something you might not understand

I´m hooked on caffeine cups
So I think I should get up and run around for a while
Like yesterday when I was ready
But then she turned me down
Because it´s her time of the month

What´s going on tonight?
Just take me to your room
Then walk me down the stairs and disappear

Well do I really need a reason why?
It should be ok to believe in something bad enough
Another topic in my life gone by
But do I really need to know it at all?

The moments you take for granted
I walk in and then you sit me down
The moments you take for granted
I walk in and then you punch me out

I´m in her room again
How far will we go?
You can feel free to stop me, even though I know you won´t
Just give in this time
Relax, be cool , its fine
Everything will be alright
