This is a song, these are the words
And these lyrics are absurd
When I try to settle down
I can't stop fooling around
When I try to get a date
I always procrastinate
Sometimes I hear the past come knocking at my door
I wish it could have done that before
Before everything changed
And it will never be the same
I want someone there for me
When I'm out at sea
But I just can't possibly
Cause we weren't meant to be
When I was just young
I could not hold my tongue
And so she thinks that I
Was never meant to fly
This is a song, these are the words
And these lyrics are absurd
When I try to settle down
I can't stop fooling around
When I try to get a date
I always procrastinate
Sometimes I hear the past come knocking at my door
I wish it could have done that before
Before everything changed
And it will never be the same
When I try to lie low
I think of long ago
And I have to get up
When enough is enough
I can blame it on myself
Instead of someone else
But I'll blame it on her
Cause she wasn't meant for me
This is a song, these are the words
And these lyrics are absurd
When I try to settle down
I can't stop fooling around
When I try to get a date
I always procrastinate
Sometimes I hear the past come knocking at my door
I wish it could have done that before
Before everything changed
