Ahead of Myself

Grown up a mess. 

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself

There were days without rest. 

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

I feel like running, but I gotta stay put. 

Because I'm getting ahead of myself. 

All the right notes can't make us grow old

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself

I can't shake the politics that wash over your soul. 

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

Call off all your armies and let's go to sleep at home

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

It's the kind of bed that seems to be made on its own

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

I know better so I'll leave my hammer at the stone

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

I'll say something you'll be inclined to believe

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

Our conversation will turn and fight the disease

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

I'll come to bed with blood on my knees

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

I'll lick your wounds to get blood on my teeth

But wait, I'm getting ahead of myself
