What have I gone and done again?

Got my feet wet in the water

But I can't seem to dive in

So I'll take to the bottle, call you up just as a friend

Then I'll wake up beside you

What have I done again?

​

Walking home from work,

Passing places I've been before

There are traces of broken hearts,

Like old confetti on the floor. 

​

Wondering what we could have been

Wondering if we could be it again.

Spent my whole life untwisting the knife

My own hand on my heart, 

I was nobody's wife.

​

Stop taking chances after broken romances

You need tokens and slot machines

To do the you and me routine.

While I was busy, sittin' safe and pretty

Time just passed me by. 

​

Walking home from work,

Passing places I've been before

There are traces of broken hearts,

Like old confetti on the floor.

​

Running in circles to the ends of the town

Trying to trick the earth from spinning around

Need time to stand still or turn back the hands

Rewind till the hourglass is blind to the sands.

Sun keeps on rising and I'm still in bed

I can see the horizon, but it lives in my head.

What have I gone and done again?

 

You're at home, with your heart on your sleeve.

Trying to rip it to rags, but you still believe.

That'll I'll come around, I will give in

And I know if I did, my new life would begin.

​

Got to say goodbye to my childlike eyes.

Got to sit back and tie my hands up in twist-ties.

The more time I spend, waiting to begin

I keep getting closer to the end.

​

Walking home from work,

Passing places I've been before

There are traces of broken hearts,

Like old confetti on the floor.

​

What have I gone and done again?

Got my feet wet in the water

But I can't seem to dive in

So I'll take to the bottle, call you up just as a friend

Then I'll wake up beside you

What have I done again?
