Text: Jason Mraz. Dead End.

say easily with me
well i show affection
but it's creeping up
creeping up on me
in another direction
i love a ride
and i know someday i'll die
so i try to ask no questions
no questions why
but the weary one, lord it's me
do you think it's obsession
the smoke will find you a choker
that matches your coat
not fit to be tied
the mirror
it makes it all clearer
as you stand alone and can see your behind
in the mirror you can see your behind


well they tried it
and they like to say nobody would believe this
well they tried it
and they like to say well nobody would ever achieve it
the way you stayed up locked away up
keeping the flame for yourself
the way you played it out
pushing the blame of
reaping the fame for yourself
oh, it's a it's a dead end
it's a dead end day
it's a dead and lonely day
said a day
it's a dead end
it's a dead end day
it's a dead and lonely day
and it's a long way
a long way down
sing it again
and it's a long, long way
said a long, long way, long way down
too long for me now
oh sing it out, oh sing it out


change is coming baby
don't be startled lady
every once in awhile they do it again
you're gonna shake it, shake it
you know you wanna take it
back to where you once belonged
said back beneath the sheets
and between the pillow cases
and the snake he races out
and then he tangles into your hair
oh, funny the fruits you choose
oh the time it takes the words you lose
and it all goes back to rotation
over the back of your hand
said the back of your hand
the map is your hand
said the back of your hand
well the map is your hand
said the map is your hand
it's the back of your hand
said the back
you better step they told him
the back as you can


it's a long, long way
and it's a long, long, long way
and it's a long, long, long way
long way down
so stop your whining all the time
and don't you find a little secret to yourself
well it always saved your life
and start listening to the words
that you've heard
no one else, but yourself
will agree with you more
that it's a long, long way
it's a long, long way
it's a long, long way
and it's a long, long
and it's a long, long damn song
it's a long, a long, way down
sing it again
and it's a long, long way down
said it once, say it once again
said it's a long, long, way down
oh say
oh say
oh it's a dead end
it's a dead end day
it's a dead and lonely day
said a day
it's a dead end
it's a dead end day
it's partly over past day, but the night, ooh but the night
