lyrics

I want you to know me
So you can tell me how I am
Cause it's been over a week since the choices I've made
Have made me feel like less of a man

Well I've been kicked out, I've been bitched out
Bought razors from a man with no soul
I've been dabbling in things that I'll probably regret
You could even say I have no control.

It seems like everyone I know
Is on the brink of falling apart
Or falling apart towards the brink of something
That will one day crush our hearts

If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I would be the moon in your perfect sky.

If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I could sleep, dream, make it through the night.


If you wish upon me darling
And then if you wish upon a star
And if you wish and wish forever
You'll see you've not gotten far

You see all these lights outside are bright
when all you want is the black of night,
So lay your head down, close your eyes
And I'll sing you this lullaby.

Here's an apology to every person
I've ever caused to weep
You know I will always forgive you
If you can never forgive me.

If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I would be the moon in your perfect sky.

If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I could sleep, dream, make it through the night.

And I am sick and tired of the things
That happen only in my dreams
I'm gonna mark my trail that leads toward
Your heart and to your jeans

And this is the day when winter turns to spring
As the fawn proceeds from birthing strife
Then the doe bends down and licks its young
Welcome to your life

If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I would be the moon in your perfect sky.

If you could turn off my head!
Then I'd be a better man
I could sleep, dream, make it through the night.

And this is my outburst.
