Lyrics

Upon Sober Reflection

At night I lay awake, wondering why
I'm always the one who's standing by
Waiting warm, for you to come to me
Without excuse and without apology
Mornings, I ask myself, am I to blame
Am I ten years too early, ten years too late
Is it the music that's making you rebel
Or is it something, or someone else
Had it with the unknown
And I'm making that known today
I'll repeat every one of my words
So no mistaking what I say
Don't want to know if you love me
If you ain't gonna do something about it
Don't want to know if you love me
If you ain't gonna do something about it
Wanna share my sheets with me
Better be no doubt about it
Yeah you wanna share my sheets with me
Better be no doubt about it
And if there's no doubt about it
Then do something about it
Tell me how can someone so careful with their touch
At the same time be so careless with their love
Yeah how can someone so careful with their touch
At the same time be so careless with their love
Tell me how can someone so careful with their touch
At the same time be so careless with their love
Yeah how can someone so careful with their touch
At the same time be so careless with their love
Fucking had enough of the unknown
And I'm making that known today
I'll repeat every one of my words
So no mistaking what I say
Don't want to know if you love me
If you ain't gonna do something about it
Don't want to know if you love me
If you ain't gonna do something about it
Wanna share my sheets with me
Better be no doubt about it
Yeah you wanna share my sheets with me
Better be no doubt about it
And if there's no doubt about it
Then do something about it
Yeah if there's no doubt about it
Then do something about it
