Well, it's happening again
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
I guess I should get used to November by now but it's so hard to move
I'm goin' to LA
I just need some time to muse on you
And I smoked my last cigarette in the last ever smoking room
And now it's time to decide
If there's still hope for my mind
Well, there's no hope for desire
If you don't show up tonight
Honey, I wish you were here
I'm watching that Sun go on
Waitin' in the cheapest room in town
I wanna burn this building down
Well, I wanna lay down
That's when the phone starts to ring
But I know I should just lower my expectations, man
Are you out on vacation with the missus again?
So there's no hope to deny
There's no hope for that life
Well, there's no hope for desire
I must be out of my mind
Because I wish you were me
Then you'd know how I feel right now
You've got every way to turn me inside out
I wanna burn this building down
I'm gonna burn this building down
I don't wanna crawl
You know I don't like to watch
I'm so tired, don't even make me want to
Well, I guess I'll go home
Stop putting on a show for these fools
Because the next one to walk by
I know he's going to look exactly like you do to me, honey, tonight
Oh, there ain't nothing left that I could do right now
Except to burn the motherfucker down
Honey, I wish that I was you
I wanna be a part of me too
I wanna roll my tongue around inside of your mouth
We're gonna burn this building down
We're gonna burn this building down
(Well, I wish)
(I wish)
(Well, I wish)
(I wish)
