lyrics

If I could fit you in a song
then I could get some sleep tonight
If I could squash out the thought
that you were gonna make me alright

If I could just uncover the truth
dump out my bucket of proof
and examine each piece on my bedroom floor
I wouldn't have to wonder
which way is up
anymore

If I could learn from my mistakes then maybe
I'd get somewhere new
Instead of coming to the same conclusions
from a different point of view

But maybe that's the whole idea
maybe someday it'll be clear
or maybe I'm just doomed
Either way, it's all okay
I'm happy enough that I can say
I haven't given up this whole way through

If I wanted to call this love I guess it'd be just as well
but in my heart I know it's not, it's just another spell.
It's nothing but a recipe
you knew how to get someone like me
am I really that predictable?
but in the end it'll all make sense
you'll be an experience
that I look back on when the moon is full.

If I could fit you in a song,
then I could get some sleep tonight
