I couldn't think what else to do, so I thought I'd write a song
lyrics
My couch hurts my ass when I sit on it too long
I couldn't think what else to do
I thought I'd write a song
My head starts to ache when I start to think of you
I couldn't get you off my mind
What else can I do?
I've had enough to eat and I've had enough to drink
I feel so god damn tired now
My mind is on the blink
I've got myself a job and I've got myself a cat
A T.V. to distract myself
Can't ask for more than that
You know I can't find the perfect words for you
But if I could I'd say them and I'd sing them for you too
You know I can't find the perfect words for you
But if I could I'd say them and I'd sing them for you too
My couch hurts my ass when I sit on it too long
My pride starts to hurt when I realize I was wrong
Maybe you were right when you told me not to go
I thought that I was in the right, how could I have known?
I feel so lonely now, no drink can heel the wound
I miss your touch, I miss your lips, I miss you in my room
Maybe if you heard these words you'd come back to me and stay
But who's kidding who? I wouldn't want that anyway
You know I can't find the perfect words for you
But if I could I'd say them and I'd sing them for you too
You know I can't find the perfect words for you
But if I could I'd say them and I'd sing them for you too
