[00:31.46]My friends become my foes
[00:34.11]And my foes become my friends
[00:37.88]I tend to fall in love with the girls
[00:40.78]My boyfriend ends
[00:43.04]
[00:43.80]I don't work 9 to 5
[00:45.94]But I'll always work the weekends
[00:49.21]And each time I'll get the world
[00:51.54]In my fingers something happens
[00:54.50]
[00:57.23]I'm working backwards, forwards
[01:00.44]And left to right
[01:02.89]And I'm pretty darn hard headed
[01:05.85]But I can't make up my mind
[01:08.74]
[01:08.87]I'll take a tragedy over a fairytale
[01:11.83]But only when the sun is shining
[01:14.60]I'll be the voice of hope in your darkest hour
[01:17.68]I'm an expert in the silver lining
[01:20.20]
[01:20.45]I'll be there when you need me
[01:21.99]For all the big things
[01:23.19]But I'm really pathetic at perfect timing
[01:26.21]And that's the way it seems to go for me
[01:30.99]
[01:41.44]I go to bed at 8 and wake up at 4.30
[01:46.66]Most day I drink like a fish and tend to be too flirty
[01:52.20]I am a perfectionist but only when things get dirty
[01:57.42]I cannot stand small talk but I'm great at being wordy
[02:02.70]
[02:02.97]And I'd rather leave you first
[02:05.55]But then I'll be begging you to come back
[02:08.44]And when I get real quiet
[02:11.09]You know I'm about to attack
[02:13.79]
[02:13.86]I'll take a walk in the rain or a drive in the dark
[02:17.19]But only when everyone's celebrating
[02:20.08]I'll dig in to your pain and tear it apart
[02:22.79]But only to help the heart that's breaking
[02:25.24]
[02:25.37]I like to figure things out and make everything right
[02:28.39]But I'm secretly thrilled when everything's changing
[02:31.41]And that's the way it seems to go for me
[02:36.51]
[02:36.57]If you fall for the part that's brooding and dark
[02:39.84]You will never discover the rest of my heart
[02:42.80]And I want you to see that there's so much to see
[02:47.33]Just before I declare you never knew me
[02:58.78]
[03:16.50]He's with the small stuff like the world around was over
[03:22.67]I calm him down and we make breakfast for each other
[03:28.27]Our friends all thought we fit so perfectly together
[03:34.06]He likes what he can't have and I sure like bad weather
[03:38.78]
[03:38.85]I may have left him first
[03:41.62]But I think he'd been leaving for sometime
[03:44.64]I feel like begging him to come back
[03:47.03]But I can't make up my mind
[03:49.61]
[03:49.67]I'll take a boxing match over the quiet night
[03:53.13]But only to make for better dreams
[03:56.03]I'll back the underdog in any fight
[03:58.61]But only to fight for something worth keeping
[04:01.69]
[04:01.69]I'm in it to win it, most of the time
[04:04.40]And if it goes down I'll be kicking and screaming
[04:07.23]And that's the way it seems to go for me
[04:12.51]Yeah, and that's the way it seems to go for me
[04:17.29]Whoa, and that's the way it seems to go for me
[04:23.90]
