Umbrellas


There's a stain on your shirt 
from where you spilled the red wine 
i almost remember it was over there by the piano 
now you're forcing the liquor down your throat 
it's not pleasant but hey, we need to forget 
'cause you tried so hard to get inside her head 
the secret is out, you were weak all along 
i hear the laughter in the next room 
my thoughts scatter 
it's as if they don't want to be found out 
how do i keep going? 
how do i sleep at night? 
it's like happiness, it's a goal we chase, 
we obtain, and then it slips through our finger tips 
the mistakes we made we learn from them 
or we learn how to make them again 
i want to look in from the outside 
i'd make my own rules 
i'd stand on something other than this sphere 
it would be more like a box 
full of second chances
