The Right Place

Plead with me and beg me not to stay

So you can still get stoned every day

Ask of me the one thing I'll negate

So I'll look like a jerk and you'll be safe

Oh, I once said goodnight and meant every single syllable

But I didn't mean to have one every day, by the way

Even though your heart's in the right place

You'll find a way to lose and let it break

And there is only so much I can take

Until I start to feel like I'm betrayed

Oh, I once said good luck & really hoped that it'd work out

And felt certain that this time you'd get it right

But I've since been dismayed by your careless mistakes

And I'm sick and tired of hoping that you might

Yeah...

Plead with me and beg me not to stay

You knew it'd never work out anyway

You've got an eye for sore sight

And a knack for college tries

But you're soon to lack the thing that gets you by..

Yeah...
