Monday morning waking up

Still too numb to think

Another night just staring at the wall

Last night's conversation

Knocked me off my feet

I guess today I fall

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way

Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before

Oh what's the use of fighting when you know you've lost the war

Walk the streets of New Orleans

Shirt soaked to my skin

Through the mess of yesterday's parade

A thousand times a day I think of calling you again

Come to my senses instead

And everytime we walk away we lose a little time

Pretending to each other now that everything is fine

I know whatever lies I use to get myself to sleep

I wake up to the promises I know we couldn't keep

Say you don't see what's wrong

Every night lasts too long

So long I know, I do

You're already gone

Ooooh

I wonder should I get up

I would but what's the point?

Oh when something's gone it's gone for good

Maybe I could look away

Back to where we used to be

One more time, I wish I could

Oh, nevermind the reasons, that tore us all apart

We've both done things I know we can't defend

What's the use in tracing it all back to the star

There's something missing in the air

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way

Be careful of the things we do and everything we say

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before

Oh what's the use of fighting when you know you've lost the war

Say you don't see what's wrong

Every night lasts too long

So long I know, I do

You're already gone

Oh I know, I do

You're already gone

Ooooh-
