The Conversation

Somewhere in the conversation
Someone got high & turned down the lights
You read me what my palm was saying
Look at those lines I must've been blind

Are you so confident that you could turn my world around
Why would you want to put the lock on now
You know you're beautiful when you just laugh at yourself

You tell me it's a shame I'm jaded
How lucky I am to be who I am
I tell you I'm a worn out angel
Living my life on borrowed time

I want to feel I got a purpose when I wake up now
I'm not as tragic as I look am I
Come on & make me laugh a little more before I fly

Give me time that used to be so kind
Give me time don't let the ghost in my eyes

Somewhere in the conversation
You told me you lost your sister & ma
I tell you there's no explanation
No comfort to call but look what you are

You know you really are so beautiful when you laugh it off
You make me feel like there's a cure for the curse
Come on I'll make you laugh a little more before I fly

Give me time that used to be so kind
Give me time don't let the ghost in my eyes
Yeah time comes on like it's all right
Then it's time that puts the ghost in your eyes

I've seen the world go mad, I've made peace with myself, I've even loved someone
For all my big bad faults I'm not about to change this face

Give me time that used to be so kind
Give me time don't let the ghost in my eyes
All this time comes on like it's all right
Then it's time that puts the ghost in your eyes
Somewhere in the conversation someone got high
