Do The Same

[Bonochick]

The moonlight peers through the blinds
As we settle for the night
Feeling your arms around me
Brings comfort to lack of sight

I drift through your quiet mind
And make some discoveries
You create such lovely thoughts
I guess your mouth disagrees

I'm happier than ever
But my tears dampen your bed
You make me feel so alive
But I still wish I were dead

If you show me a street, I'll get lost downtown
If you light my candle, I'll burn your place down
If you buy my ticket, I'll forget to go
If you put me onstage, I'll steal the show
If you let me win, I'll just quit the game
But if you don't let go, then I'll do the same

I can't sleep in guilty sheets
So I better step outside
Winter air chills my bare skin
While the stars all run and hide

I guide myself to the pond
And look over at the street
Zombies cruising right along
They have no deadlines to meet

Paralyzed by depression
I collapse onto the earth
I lay in the bed I made
And wonder what life is worth

If you show me a street, I'll get lost downtown
If you light my candle, I'll burn your place down
If you buy my ticket, I'll forget to go
If you put me onstage, I'll steal the show
If you let me win, I'll just quit the game
But if you don't let go, then I'll do the same

Others were here before me
And they risked greater amounts
They ended up in coffins
But their effort is what counts

So I pull myself back up
And return to what I know
The joy that I am feeling
Mixed with my constant sorrow

I'll take the black with the white
The enemy with your name
I will give this all a shot
As long as you do the same

Love the chorus
"If you put me onstage, I'll steal the show"
