31 And Falling

Chris Pureka

Well you call again
As if I don't know what you're going to say
So let it ring
I can count the cracks in the ceiling all day long
I guess the birds they just went south
But I've got no where to go
It's 31 and falling
I've been dreaming of you darling
In case you'd like to know

God damn my wasted time
Ringing all the bells

If I could hold my tongue
Just long enough to get me through the door
Then you won't know
Rewind the tape while your back is turned
Fold my arms and pull the curtains closed
Bury the roses in the backyard
And darlin' never mind
What I might have said before, before

God damn my wasted time
Ringing all the bells

I've got half a mind to lie to you
Half a mind to tell you
Everything I have to tell, to tell, to tell
I've been wasting my time I know I know better
And I'm tired of waxing sentimental
I'm tired of saying please, please
Tired of waiting, I'm tired of waiting

You call again
As if I don't know what you're going to say
