lyrics

Searching for some answers
but the questions I don’t know
seems just like I’m chasing cancer
take another fresh breath of smoke
All the days that I faced ain’t
sucked the life out of my song
all the time that I’ve wasted
with my face stuck in a bong

baby I’m too weird to be you’re man
and this I understand
but I’m still here and I can
scratch your back
and hold your hand
and make sweet love to you tonight

Whistling a song
that I had stuck in my head
Last night while I was sleeping
I dreamt a symphony in bed
And when I was awakened
I was shaken from my song
By my roommate cooking bacon
In my bed I was all alone

Baby I’m too cool to be your friend
Don’t want to lie don’t want to pretend
I’m still here and I can
Make sweet love to you tonight

You may find me sitting
Baby my intentions they are steamy
but my conversations cold
but everybody has their moments
and my friend he has a dream
he says tell all the skanks at my funeral
that I lived the life of a king

baby I’m too weird to be you’re man
and this I understand
but I’m still here and I can
scratch your back
and hold your hand
and make sweet love to you tonight
