Singing In The Bathroom Lyrics

I was singing in the bathroom

When I was staying at your old house

You were sleeping in the next room

So I was keeping my voice down



And I was writing you a song

About how it's hard to get along

The more you try the faster feelings fade



And I looked up and I saw in that mirror on the wall

That I could write you a hundred songs a day

And I could burn through a thousand miles of tape

And even if we were smiled upon by fate

The key is the only thing that would change



From the graveyards to the ballrooms

Where I knew you would never stay

Of the laughter and the lightning

And the things you never had a chance to say



There was anger and affection

And I could no longer tell the two apart

And I saw you there somewhere in the future

With new lovers and your same old broken heart



And the sky up above said don't be afraid of love

You'll spend your whole life wishing you were someone else

And the plants in the yard said don't take everything so hard

There's no perfection, you're actually doing very well



And the trees and the moon

They were pleading with us too

But we refused to hear

The things they had to say



And the clouds tried to beg

But they were ignored and neglected

So they cried and it rained the whole night through

And I crawled back into bed with you
