Mistake
© Catherine Clarnette & Rob Agostini 2017
​
You left, now you're back
No guesses what I'm thinking
No time to react
Quicksand, I am sinking
​
That guy who just walked in
I don't remember him
It's clear you're no good
I hope you don't see me, but I wish you would
​
Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake
Did what I felt was right, I thought my decision was made
Oh, baby, do you really wanna hate me?
Oh, baby, do you really, really wanna chase me?
Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake
​
One touch, I'm alive
No, I'm not close to winning
I can't say I'm surprised
You've won since the beginning
​
I don't know what it is
I don't remember this
Do you think you could
Come back some other time when you don't look so good?
​
Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake
Did what I felt was right, I thought my decision was made
Oh, baby, do you really wanna hate me?
Oh, baby, do you really, really wanna chase me?
Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake
​
Don't pretend that you don't know me
Wonder what I'm worth
I guess I should've known you'd show me
Bring me back to earth
​
Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake
Did what I felt was right, I thought my decision was made
Oh, baby, do you really wanna hate me?
Oh, baby, do you really, really wanna chase me?
Done what it takes to make me feel like I made a mistake
Once I Know You
© Catherine Clarnette 2017
​
I should mention I'm not like you at all
There's potential road to ruin to your door
It's a mystery, so you'll find yourself so intrigued
When you're in, I'll try to hide the dark you missed in me
​
Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be
Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily
If you worry feelings change
Believe we'll show each other what we never thought we'd be
Once I know you, I'll wish I never knew
​
I have no objection, say you'll never leave my side
At my discretion, I can leave you any time
I"m the one who has nothing to lose once you're gone
I'll remind you you've been in control all along
​
Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be
Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily
If you worry feelings change
Believe we'll show each other what we never thought we'd be
Once I know you, I'll wish I never knew
​
You could be anyone
You're not really lost tonight
But I could be anyone
Anyone you like
​
Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be
Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily
​
Once I know you, it's clear it isn't meant to be
Once you know me, suddenly you can't escape as easily
If you worry feelings change
Believe we'll show each other what we never thought we'd be
Once I know you, I'll wish I never knew
​
I could be anyone

Stand Alone
© Catherine Clarnette, Rob Agostini & Stephanie Clarnette 2017
​
I've been lost in my own reflection without seeing myself
I've tried to follow the right direction behind everyone else
I've let fear get the best of me, been fine in closing the door
I've loved, hoping to please somebody, thinking there couldn't be more
​
My thoughts hidden in the crowd
But I'm coming around
​
In my life, there's a place I need to find
I can rise by mistake or by design
Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind
Take control
Stand alone, stand alone
​
I've lived, thinking I knew the answers without seeing the world
I walked away from so many chances, missing how much I could learn
​
My thoughts hidden in the crowd
But I'm coming around
​
In my life, there's a place I need to find
I can rise by mistake or by design
Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind
Take control
Stand alone, stand alone
​
I always knew it, never thought I'd do it
Time to take my own advice
Not enough to think it, gonna have to risk it
Heard it said a thousand times
​
In my life, there's a place I need to find
I can rise by mistake or by design
Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind
Take control
​
In my life, there's a place I need to find
I can rise by mistake or by design
Oh, I know I can leave my doubt behind
Take control
Stand alone (there's a place I need to find)
Stand alone (by mistake or by design)
Stand alone (there's a place I need to find)
Stand alone (by mistake or by design)
Stand alone

Out Of The Dark
© Catherine Clarnette & Rob Agostini 2017
​
You could turn the lights out, you could close the door
You could say things about me, I don't care any more
You don't have to like me, you don't have to pretend you do
I've swum with the sharks now, found my way out of the pool
​
Learned to lock you out
You can't let me down
​
I woke up to a sound rising from the underground
Out of the dark, out of the dark
I'm always on the run, heart beating like a drum
I will leave my mark
​
You could be unsupportive, not turn up to my show
I've heard all the excuses, don't even want to know
You could be jealously crazy while you pose as a friend
You should be happy for me or you could pretend
​
I woke up to a sound rising from the underground
Out of the dark, out of the dark
I'm always on the run, heart beating like a drum
I will leave my mark
Close your eyes, but don't deny me my part
I woke up to a sound rising from the underground
Out of the dark
​
Free to be ignored
I don't ask any more
​
I woke up to a sound rising from the underground
Out of the dark, out of the dark
I'm always on the run, heart beating like a drum
I will leave my mark
Close your eyes, but don't deny me my part
I woke up to a sound rising from the underground
Out of the dark
​
I Know This Now
© Catherine Clarnette 2017
​
I've heard it all happens for a reason, it's been on my mind
Been told it's meant to be like this too many times
And I was in the orbit when the stars aligned
Somehow I found someone of a different kind
​
So out of the blue, like a dream I never knew
And suddenly it was easy
​
It all makes sense to me now
There's a place we never could have found
Without each other
Oh, I know this now
​
Been told you gotta stop looking and you're on track
Always in direction of the right path
I was lost in darkness, in the gravity
Somehow I found someone who mirrored me
​
Every moment I shared there was silence in the air
And nothing I'd do ever saved me
​
It all makes sense to me now
There's a place we never could have found
Without each other
Oh, I know this now
It all makes sense to me now
It's enough to follow me around
It was meant to happen
Oh, I know this now
​
I know this now
​
It all makes sense to me now
There's a place we never could have found
Without each other
Oh, I know this now
It all makes sense to me now
It's enough to follow me around
It was meant to happen
Oh, I know this now
A Love So Good
© Catherine Clarnette 2017
​
I was singing 'bout the one who left me
Busy singing 'bout the one who got away
I'd been told I was just cold and empty
No one else could ever love all my mistakes
​
If you look around, everyone's looking down
But I'm just looking at you
Like a rainbow hidden in cloud
'Til I saw you looking too
​
You brought me back to life
And I finally saw the light
Both feet on the ground and without a sound
Found out in your arms I could fly
I finally understood
And I never thought I would
In just a blink, no wishful thinking
How did I deserve a love so good?
​
There's never been a moment I have wondered
Never asked myself if he feels the same
In my bitterness I discovered
In believing good things come to those who wait
​
Everybody's looking around
But I'm just looking at you
Like a diamond nobody found
'Til I saw you shining through
​
You brought me back to life
And I finally saw the light
Both feet on the ground and without a sound
Found out in your arms I could fly
I finally understood
And I never thought I would
In just a blink, no wishful thinking
How did I deserve a love so good?
​
My love is only good for you
I get it now
My love is only good for you
I get it now
​
You brought me back to life
And I finally saw the light
Both feet on the ground and without a sound
Found out in your arms I could fly
I finally understood
And I never thought I would
In just a blink, no wishful thinking
How did I deserve a love so good?
Impossibly Blue
© Catherine Clarnette 2017
​
Yesterday we said goodbye
Everything was fine
One moment, change your life
No reason to hide
I won't forget the words you spoke
Oh, won't you get a little close?
I'd say something to give you hope
But then, I'd never know
​
It's not impossible to find yourself asleep
Dreaming too hard, believing it's an easy path
Oh, I can't protect your heart
It's not so difficult to feel so out of reach
Wanting more, knowing that you gave it all
​
The sun will rise, the show will go on
The deepest night covers everyone
The light will fade and darken you
Time goes by but you can't feel it move
So impossible
​
It's like a place I've been
But never seen so blue
If I can't get through to you
Is there nothing I can do?
You have so much to give
So much I wish that you could know
I will never let this go
​
It's not impossible to get so lost out there
Finding it strange, somehow you can make a change
When you're out of here and far away
It's too difficult to find yourself alone
Wondering why you're happy when you're on your own
​
The sun will rise, the show will go on
The deepest night covers everyone
The light will fade and darken you
Time goes by but you can't feel it move
So impossible
​
Life will go on
Just close your eyes, think how far you've come
And it's just begun
The sun will rise, uncover you
Sometime soon you will see it through
So impossible
Heatwave
© Catherine Clarnette & Rob Agostini 2017
​
Tonight you'll be my entertainment
Got no idea who you are
You'll know exactly what I'm chasing
It's just a game, so play your part
​
I've never seen your face
Get lost in my embrace
​
Don't care what you wanna know, make the rhythm flow
Don't let go, got my eye on you
Don't hear what you gotta say, let the music play
There's no escaping this heatwave
Heatwave, heatwave
​
Tonight it's just as well we're strangers
It's good I don't know your name
With you I wanna taste the danger
Wanna bring you closer to the flame
​
We're running out of time
Wanna make you mine tonight
​
Don't care what you wanna know, make the rhythm flow
Don't let go, got my eye on you
Don't hear what you gotta say, let the music play
There's no escaping this heatwave
Heatwave, heatwave
​
Got my eye on you, got my eye on you
Got my eye on you, got my eye on you
​
Don't care what you wanna know, make the rhythm flow
Don't let go, got my eye on you
Don't hear what you gotta say, let the music play
There's no escaping this heatwave
Heatwave, heatwave
​
Tonight you'll be my entertainment
Got no idea who you are
Tonight it's just as well we're strangers
It's good I don't know your name

Paper Door
© Catherine Clarnette & Rob Agostini 2017
​
Do you remember when the two of you met?
You said you didn't wanna get involved
But soon enough, you lost your common sense
Thinking you're the one who's in control
​
All our words become invisible
We'll trust him to be predictable
​
Cut out your paper stars, stick them on your wall
And soon he'll turn up at your paper door
He will say and say he's here to stay
But he will walk away because he could before
​
Do you remember the first time he left
Only to turn around and change his mind?
Refill your heart with his promises
Convince yourself it will be different this time
​
Justify it's in the circumstance
He deserves another second chance
​
Cut out your paper stars, stick them on your wall
And soon he'll turn up at your paper door
He will say and say he's here to stay
But he will walk away because he could before
Tear up your paper dreams, watch the pieces fall
Wait for him to pull you from the floor
He will cry and cry he's here to fight
But only for tonight just because he could before
​
Keep you dreaming 'bout tomorrow (you know, you know)
Keep you believing what you wanna (I know, I know)
Time to move on, time to move on
Take back your love, take back your love
​
Tear up your paper dreams, watch the pieces fall
Wait for him to pull you from the floor
Question why and why he has to lie
But he won't have a reply, just always leave you wanting more
Cut out your paper stars, stick them on your wall
And soon he'll turn up at your paper door
He will say and say he's here to stay
But he will walk away because he could before
​
He'll return again, walk through your paper door
Bold
Couldn't Let You Win
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
You said, "I've had my eyes on you since the year began
And in six months I'm leaving town, but if it's cool we can hang out 'til then
And then we'll say goodbye and I'll depart and we can still be friends"
Like I meant nothing good to you, you'll never think of me again
​
You've been in my head lately, just about all the time
And I've been going crazy, trying to get you off my mind
Hey, do you feel a little bad for what you put me through?
Babe, have you heard of karma? I hope it gets to you
​
Lost count of how many times I heard you say
"Stay if you can be cool", should've walked away
I don't think you knew the pain that I was in
You said, "Stay if you can handle this", I couldn't let you win
​
I gave the game away to you, such a big mistake
You wanted me and then you told me that I'd have to wait
You pushed me away, I was inclined to give you more
You'd said your bed was better with me in it, that I'd have a backstage pass to your door
​
You could've shown a little care for leaving me behind
'Cause I was going crazy trying to get you off my mind
​
Lost count of how many times I heard you say
"Stay if you can be cool", should've walked away
You couldn't understand the pain that I was in
You said, "Stay if you can handle this", I couldn't let you win
​
Babe, I've been going crazy, don't know what to do
Hey, have you heard of karma? I hope it gets to you
​
Lost count of how many times I heard you say
"Stay if you can be cool", should've walked away
I couldn't see the situation I was in
You said, "Leave if you can't handle this", I couldn't let you
"Leave if you can't handle this", I couldn't let you win
It Won't Be Me
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
No sign of danger, I thought we were friends
I didn't see it coming, do I need to pretend?
Now you know you've lost my trust
Don't be a baby, I'll say it if I must
​
You should be heading home, do you really think it's fair?
I'm not sure what I did to make you think I'd go there
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry
Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky
You know that it won't be with me
I hope you know that it, it won't be me
​
Don't lie, you're making this worse
Ignore me all you want but I know you'll never learn
Your pride is in the way
You always have to win the twisted games that you play
​
I thought I made it clear I was prepared to let it go
But you can't lose the game, does she know?
​
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry
Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky
You know that it won't be with me
I hope you know that it, it won't be me
​
You'll perform some reappearing act
I know that you want us to be enemies
I'd rather not attack
But if you won't forget this
Know I can turn your mail black
​
I thought we were friends
I didn't see it coming, do I need to pretend?
​
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry
Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky
You know that it won't be with me
​
Don't try to blame this on me
Don't say I'm cold and try to make me feel sorry
Don't be bold and try to tell me I'm lucky
You know that it won't be with me
You know that it won't be with me
I can guarantee that it won't be me

Dangerous Game
© Catherine Clarnette & Rob Agostini 2016
​
You live in this world with your head in the clouds
Before you get too high, put your feet back on the ground
'Cause you've fallen more than one step behind
You've got a lot to lose
I know you love someone, but you don't say who
​
Just a conversation, such innocent play
Better watch your step, 'cause it's a dangerous game
Try to keep it classified, but a secret's never safe
Don't be colourblind or ignore the sirens, know when to walk away
​
Travel far and wide, temptation all around
Living in search of thrill, find a face within the crowd
Think you're always walking one step ahead
You've got a lot to lose
I know you love someone
I know you love someone, but you don't say who
​
Just a conversation, such innocent play
Better watch your step, 'cause it's a dangerous, dangerous game
Try to keep it classified, but a secret's never safe
Don't be colourblind or ignore the sirens, know when to walk away
​
Sleeping, shadowing, follow without a sound
And when the tables turn, I'll be nowhere to be found
​
Just a conversation, such innocent play
Better watch your step, 'cause it's a dangerous, dangerous game
Try to keep it classified, but a secret's never safe
Don't be colourblind or ignore the sirens, know when to walk away
​
You live in this world with your head in the clouds
Got a lot to lose
I know you love someone, but you don't say who

Back In My Own Bed
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
I'm not going out
Makes me think about all the things we used to do
The question's on my mind
Will I ever find someone who compares to you?
I took a bite
'Cause every Friday night, I would come to see the show
I liked your eyes on me
I liked the certainty you'd be the one to take me home
​
I know we agreed you'd have to leave me
But it's not that easy
I'd leave for you, I know that you knew
You won't say you
​
Love me once before you leave
You're not coming back for me
I should turn my reflection instead
Now I'm back in my own bed
​
From the first day
In every way, you said you had nothing to hide
I saw a photograph
And I had to ask if you left somebody behind
You said she's just a friend
So how do I comprehend her pictures in your phone?
So, who is she?
All you told me is there's nothing else I need to know
​
I trusted you, but did you lie to me?
I wish I could see
And, still, I show, don't think I didn't know
You would want to
​
Love me once before you leave
You're not coming back for me
I should turn my reflection instead
Now I'm back in my own bed
​
I know we agreed you'd have to leave me
I wish it was easy
And, still, I show, don't think I didn't know
​
Love me once before you leave
You're not coming back for me
Time to turn my reflection instead
Now I'm back in my own bed

Elegy
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
Bite your tongue
Take me back to better days
I was good for you then, won't happen again
Been holding my breath just in case
It's not a good sign
Constantly looking for places to hide
We might be attached, we're not a good match
Is it leaving you broken inside?
​
There's nothing else I can do
Nothing can light up this flame
I've been shamefully playing the role of the heartless one
Hoping that you'll walk way
​
It's a dangerous road, I tried so hard to see it through
Stop questioning why, you know that I tried so hard to be with you
It's time to let go, don't deny you know that it's true
This isn't right, don't make me think twice
I have to say goodbye to you
​
If I stayed
We'd continue in this way
You made your mistakes, at the end of the day
There's nobody else you can blame
I know there are countless mistakes I made too
But there's a limit to what we can fix
You wouldn't be seen in public with me
Can't you see there's a problem with this?
​
I remember the last time I left your bed
I walked out into the rain
Knowing that for somebody, you'll be the perfect man
But with me, you'll never change
​
It's a dangerous road, I tried so hard to see it through
Stop questioning why, you know that I tried so hard to be with you
It's time to let go, don't deny you know that it's true
This isn't right, don't make me think twice
I have to say goodbye to you
​
It's taken four years, all my confidence
Don't you find it so strange?
We were attached, but we're not a good match
If leaving's a mistake then it's one I'm going to make
​
It's a dangerous road, I tried so hard to see it through
Stop questioning why, you know that I tried so hard to be with you
It's time to let go, don't deny you know that it's true
I'm not giving up, I've just had enough
I'm sorry
I hope that you've seen we're not meant to be
You have to say goodbye to me

No Evidence
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
We talk of collecting moments that last a lifetime
And the memories that hurt us, we try to leave behind
Though I wish I could forget them, I still think of him every day
I've kept everything he gave me, got our photos on a profile page
​
It's all in my hands, the memories won't change
​
Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove
This paper trail leaves no evidence of you
​
I deleted your number and erased your name
I listened to your music until it numbed my brain
I forgot your address, you never left your key
Relived our conversations 'til your voice meant nothing to me
​
Nothing in my hands, you're just a memory
​
Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove
This paper trail leaves no evidence of you
​
You left me nothing, there's no evidence of you
​
Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove
This paper trail leaves no evidence of you
Nothing set in stone, 'cause there's nothing here to prove
This paper trail leaves no evidence of you
Tango
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
Talk to me, where have you been?
I've been on your tail and you've been wandering
My lifeline gets thin
I've been at your door but you won't let me in
​
I'm going, going
You used to wait for me
But I don't see you
It's all so complicated
Falling, falling
Through all the heights of love
Yet I don't hear you
But you're infatuated
​
You can stop the show
Because secretly, I know
Remove your poker face, this is no masquerade
​Just some kind of tango
​
Answer me, some kind of reprieve
You passed me and I find it hard to leave
And I'm realising that the words you say
Are just what I'll believe
​
I'm lying, lying
I hate to think about what
Happened, happened
And all the time you waited
Calling, calling
I hear your voice again
But I don't hear you
It's all so complicated
​
You can stop the show
Because secretly, I know
Remove your poker face, this is no masquerade
Just some kind of tango
​
Don't think I don't know
You went cold some time ago
Your secret's safe with me, but I can't even see
You to let you know
​
So when the lights blow there's a place I know
You could go right now
Where there's a floorshow, some kind of tango
You'll learn to let it go
​
You can stop the show
Because secretly, I know
Remove your poker face, this is no masquerade
Just some kind of tango
You know your secret's safe, don't have to play the game
You can stop the show
​
I'm going, going
You used to wait for me
But I don't see you
It's all so complicated
Falling, falling
Through all the heights of love
Yet I don't hear you
But you're infatuated
Never Live The Same Way
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
I hear repeatedly everyone deserves a second chance
I hear repeatedly that in life, love never goes to plan
I wondered so many times if you felt the way I do
There's still a fire deep inside my mind that burns for you
​
No expectations but I had my eyes on you
Back then, I think I knew you had your eyes on me too
I'll live without my heart, believe that I can be that strong
I should've stopped myself, knowing you would leave me all along
​
I've told myself repeatedly we were never meant to fall in love
Tried to convince myself there's nothing more than what we were
I often wonder if you still think of me too, maybe you do
Maybe you don't, can I live the same way?
​
We fell, you saved yourself, time for this to end
When you changed your mind I said I can't go through that pain again
You lied and I went cold, I tried to leave a broken heart
There'll never be a chance to see this through, that's the worst part
​
I've told myself repeatedly we were never meant to find a way
And now you're gone, I know I can't go back, I'll never be the same
I wonder if you still think of me too
​
Wish I could stop caring, take away the pain
You've got a hold on me and I'll never be the same
You'll move on, you'll live the life you need
I'm just hurting that it won't be with me
​
I've lived those days a thousand times, was there a point of no return?
And now you're gone, don't think I ever want to fall in love again
Do you still think of me too?
I'll never live the same way

The Only Words I Know
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
Look at me, the thoughts are running right through my mind
But sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
This is you, I know you mean well, but you'll disagree
One blink and you'll misread what I convey
​
You keep on saying when the silence stays
You'll keep reminding me the words are safe
But I can't say
​
One day, I hope you'll let this go
'Til then, I can use the only words I know
We're closer to a place I wanna save
Then it's erased
​
Look my way and I will never find the words to say
You'd think after all this time my dues were paid
I know you, you'll wrap me 'round your finger like you do
I'm the fly in your web, you love the game
​
You're right behind me when I make mistakes
You'll keep reminding me my words are safe
But I can't say
​
One day, I hope you'll let this go
'Til then, I can use the only words I know
We're closer to a place I wanna save
I may be thinking, but the night's slow
It seems the only words I know
Aren't closer to the words I need to say
Never replace
I might overturn this, but I might never learn
How to mirror your need for control
Believe me, what else can I say?
Those words I know
One day, I hope you'll let this go
'Til then, I can use the only words I know
We're closer to a place I wanna save
Then it's erased
​
Look at me, the thoughts are running right through my mind

You're The One Who Left Me
© Catherine Clarnette 2016
​
You've been there and back again, all around the world
The grass is greener on the other side, that's what you've always heard
Say you're living in the sun, no cause for concern
You believed you'd never need a reason to return
​
Feels like I'm still your girl
​
If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me
(Say I should come to you)
Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply
(No word you'll follow through)
I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around
I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground
You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me
You're the one who left me
​
Dream a dream and wait around for it to materialise
Then say your plans have changed for the fifteenth time
Play all night and drink away, say you feel alive
Give your reasons, live your life, watch it crystallise
​
Loneliness in disguise
​
If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me
(Say I should come to you)
Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply
(No word you'll follow through)
I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around
I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground
You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me
You're the one who left me
​
You'll be a pretender
A self-defender
You'll be a pretender
Will you surrender?
​
You've been there and back again, all around the world
​
If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me
(Say I should come to you)
Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply
(No word you'll follow through)
I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around
I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground
You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me
You're the one who left me
​
If there's trouble in paradise, you know you still need me
(Say you feel alive)
Now you're on the other side, you admit you hurt me deeply
(Watch it crystallise)
I won't turn my back, but I'm not turning around
I'm only in your life until you reach higher ground
You're the one who ran away, go and cry because you left me
You're the one who left me

Role Models

These days we're all so insecure
You wanna be like us, what are you waiting for?
You'll be beautiful, just not as beautiful as me
Don't hesitate, I'll sell you lies for free
Look around, what you see is not what you will get
If you subscribe to me on the internet
Buy into what we say and you'll succeed in life
We have so much to share, you should take our advice
We say be grateful for what you've got
It doesn't take a lot to show a little love
We tell them not to lie too much
Just look at us
We'll make the rules, never follow through
It's not that hard, we've been there too
We'll lead and you can follow, empty another bottle
Drink the night away, such good role models
Did you hear what happened on the weekend?
She lost all her clothes, left alone again
Don't know if it's true, but go and spread the word
Just don't blame me, it's only what I heard
We teach them to be tough
You'll get what you want if you complain enough
We tell them not to lie too much
Just look at us
We'll make the rules, never follow through
It's not that hard, we've been there too
We'll lead and you can follow, empty another bottle
Drink the night away, such good role models
We'll teach it right, but do it wrong
Know when to put it off, and put it on
We'll turn to face the problem, but deal with it tomorrow
Nothing else to say, such good role models
