One Way Trigger
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.
Get dressed in your bed, while she's asleep
It isn’t right, but it isn’t hard
Tell me, tell me won't you understand
Show me, show me, show me a better plan
It’s summer lies, it’s someone else’s nothing
Here it comes now
You ask me to stay,
You ask me to stay,
You ask me to stay,
But there’s a million reasons to leave
Find a job, find a friend, find a home, find a dog
Settle down, out of town
Find a dream, shut it down!
Please, please don’t point it that way
It’s just a trigger that goes once and you’ll be unafraid
I wish that I'd been noticed, but it never goes that way
The silence that you brought has gone, gone, gone
Tell me, tell me won’t you understand?
Show me, show me, show me
You ask me to stay,
You ask me to stay,
You ask me to stay,
But there’s a million reasons to leave
Show me what to say, show me what to be
Show me what to see, show me what to be
Find a job, find a friend, find a home, find a dog
Settle down, out of town
Find a dream, shut it down!
I don’t wanna be in there with you, darling, no
I don’t wanna be in there without your loving either
I waited for your thoughts
Can’t wait no longer
