That One

[Verse 1]

Okay, time

Bring a pen, a pad, a couch, a blanket, pillow and I'm out

I wrote this thing from 31st to Clinton, foaming at the mouth

Can I sleep in your den? I'm mad 'bout how she's shanking me with my house

I wrote this thing from amongst the best

She aimed it out, the time

Give me the biggest fucking shot of disastrous ass-backwards

Triple X 1000 proof shit in a glass

Better get the whole bottle

Better yet I'll get water, I don't drink

Just give me the keys to your Civic

And direct us to the brink

I'm, um..

I'm kind of in the mood to get shot

I'm sort of kind of in the mood for suicide by cop

The little fake hold up the clerk but I'm not loaded

The jerk at his work at my worst

'Bout to burst, it's a loaded gun

And when the cops come

I'll aim it at they face until they lay me to waste

People will blame it on race, riot, and fuck up the place

Deface all in they path and

That's what I call a crime of passion

Time, give me some NyQuil and a Tylenol

I wanna dream in space

But not the shit that I do to the wall

And maybe I should call

And maybe I just fuck the fuck off

This is my fault, and I fucked it all

What am I, 10 again?

This shit was messed up from the beginning

And I knew I'd fall in love and then I'd lose it

And lose a friend

Maybe it's her fault

She never seemed to try

Time, give me a second, I've got something in my eye

[Bridge 1]

Love to the next hugs

Kisses to the sex life

Hot with emotion, baby, tell me what you need

Sex to the love to the then

Not enough, to the anger

How'd you lose your love for the leaves?

[Hook]

Drowning

I'm not waving, I'm drowning

I'm not waving, I'm drowning

I'm not waving, I'm drowning

I'm not waving, I'm drowning

[Verse 2]

Time

Until she turned and can't sleep

I'm sorry to keep you upright

Never mind man

Hey, what's up

Good night, good night, guys

My bright eyes ain't shuttin'

I'm sick of arguing, so barging in seemed like it

Would help something

My puppy love turned to a leashed dog and a steamer

I'm on a plane, she's riding pistol in a Beamer, yo

I'm thinkin' my best plan involves a meat cleaver and a steak knife

Someone's gonna die tonight, but not her

Not my princess, not my baby bird

Not my sweet chickadee turned angry vulture, clawing nerves

Red, tough, black and white and dead all over

Ask the hour, "How many licks does it take before it's over?"

"Twice is nice"

I asked you, "Please, toss my taped up clover"

Neither of us listen

(Neither of us listen)

I asked you, "Please, toss my taped up clover"

But neither of us listen

Till we both pay the price

Like

[Bridge 2]

Why you never listening?

Why you never there?

Why you gotta be like this?

Why don't you care?

Please, baby, talk to me

Please go away

Please, will you look at me?

Please, baby, stay

Can we stop this shit?

Can we try?

Can we make a go of it?

Please don't cry

Can we stop this shit?

Can we try?

Can we make a go of it?

Please don't cry

[Hook]

I'm not waving, I'm drowning

[Verse 3]

I remember

Bruised head, and a bruised heart

And I remember

Tossing with tears, cause the sleep's hard

If you remember

That faint smell on a pillow cover is not the smell of

Love anymore

That's loss and pain

Vain happiness, you're

No longer the recipient of casual looks, I see

They say you're all I see

So much compassion in her stare

How can it be in the back of my eyelids, haunting me

A picture featuring your fat lower lip, and brown hair

Yo; your side of my bed is cold and will be

Remember when you fill my side with So-And-So

And so you bought that bed with me

You picked the sheets, and spent the time

You broke in the springs with me

Your first decision now change up your life and give it a try

With all the guys in the world, remember that you chose me

My best...you can have it if you want it

[Outro]

I gotta know, I gotta feel like this

Cause life goes any day that it can

Any day that it can

I need a knuckle to absorb

It's a different kind of love you're missing - best friends

Cause everybody's fine and it's freedom again
