A story that you told
A hundred thousand times, or more, I can't recall
So distant in my mind
Been talking to you ghost with no reply
(Holler back now)
I remember when I found you
Almost naked in the pouring rain
I was hoping I would get to you
Before the very last of your champagne
(But so it goes)
You used to let me pick your brain
(But pretty soon)
You only hit my wėëd
Til we went up in smoke
Sometimes that's how it be
I'll never know why
I act so foolish when I'm lonely
I'll never know why
I act so foolish, lord if only
Wanna break that glass, on the side of my ship
Never do leave, no wind in my sail
Just look at the past, look at the past
It's comin' up fast, it's right on my tail
What was the point of livin' a dream
I'll never know how
How you ease my mind
(How you ease my mind babe)
How you ease me
How I waste my time
(How I waste my time)
How I waste away
And the ashes cross my bed
The hours in my head
Whoa I had it bad for you
Every now and then, I get a break from the memories
Whoa lord won't you set me free
I'll never know why
I'll never know why
I'll never know why
I was up late, like way too late
Missing yo' calls, and tryna make time
Revved you up, the light was green
But I got caught up just lookin for signs
No faith in luck, my fingers crossed
Prayin' to god the planets align
I been actin' like a record on repeat, record on repeat
Always find a way to f-ck it up, skip another beat, oh lord
How you ease my mind
(I act so foolish when I'm lonely)
How you ease me
How I waste my time
(I act so foolish, lord if only)
How I waste away
How you ease my mind
How you ease me
How I waste my time
How I waste away
