"Mercer's Folly" lyrics

"Mercer's Folly"

Take your time
Tell me slow
Should I stay?
When we both know you thought you knew what I was just about to say
But I've been looking back over my shoulder
I can't find nobody to blame
If I could do all of this all over
Wouldn't do anything the same

It seemed like the right thing at the time
It seemed like the right thing at the time

Trying to find some kind of way to cope
I've got to admit it ain't so much the despair
That always gets me as it is the hope
God, there's always hope
I was smart enough to find those car keys
Maybe not enough to drive that car
All I know for sure with all my heart
Is how every turn so far

Seemed like the right thing at the time
Seemed like the right thing at the time

Seemed like the right thing at the time
It seemed like the right thing to do at the time
It seemed like the right thing at the time
It seemed like the right thing at the time
