"For The Life Of Me" lyrics
"For The Life Of Me"
Well I know you find it hard to smile
To keep your happiness in style
You pass in silence in the morning
You know you shouldn't ever try to ignore me
An' you look to be pretty nervous
Sweaty hands and blood shot eyes
So hard to identify you
Just a loser in a loser's disguise
She don't back down
And she won't come around, here
An' there's all this talk about dying
Man I don't get it for the life of me
With your fingernails painted red
And your eyes all ready to wed
Decorated from head to toe
Like a magician in a talent show
She don't back down
An' she don't come around here
An' there's all this talking about dying
Man I don't get it for the life of me
So you've smoked your last cigarette
Blindfolded on a train from Tibet
An' broke your last bottle of wine
An' unraveled your last ball of twine
She don't back down
She don't come around, here
Now there's all this talking about dying
Man I don't get it for the life of me
She don't back down
She don't come around, here
Now there's all this talking about dying
Man I don't get it for the life of me
Well I know you find it hard to smile
To keep your happiness in style
You pass in silence in the morning
An' I know you don't mean to ignore me
Now there's all this talk about dying
Man I don't get it for the life of me

Matchbox 20 - "3 AM" She said, "It's cold outside" and she hands me a raincoat
She's always worried about things like that

She came down
From the mountain
And I
I stood my ground
On the mountain
Like a fire I'm drawn to her lust
I can't run from her but Lord I must
Like a demon I'm drawn to her flame

Sugar Ray - "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window I'm staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there

She's married now or engaged or...
The Verve Pipe - "The Freshmen" When I was young I knew everything
And she, a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I'm guilt-stricken, sobbin' with my head on the floor
Stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice, no
