Lyrics

Ready or Not

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I saw you from across the street, /

Called to your friends. /

I haven't seen your smile all week - /

I know something's wrong. /

I went and bought another book; /

I'll lend it to you. /

Maybe we could get some food, /

I don't think you should be alone. /

This is the morning of another day, /

And you kiss another dream away, /

Ready or not. /

You never say the things you should. /

You didn't, and you never could, /

Like it or not. /

They said you're off to fight the cause /

In your own time. /

You're always trying to change the rules. /

I know something's wrong. /

I got myself another job /

In the same town. /

Me and scott, we got engaged... /

I don't want to be alone. /

This is the morning of another day, /

And you kiss another dream away, /

Ready or not. /

You never say the things you should./

You didn't, and you never could, /

Like it or not. /

I never meant to hide a thing. /

It's too late for me to start promising /

Or crying again. /

This is the morning of another day, /

And you kiss another dream away, /

Ready or not/

You never say the things you should. /

You didn't, and you never could, /

Like it or not. /

I never meant to hide a thing. /

It's too late for me to start promising /

Or crying again. /

This is the morning of another day, /

And you kiss another dream away, /

Ready or not/
