lyrics

You were standing right in front of me
How was I supposed to know?
All these vampires are after me
Where am I supposed to go?

I’ve been thinking about leaving this place
With no plan to return
Sacrifice my love for such a superficial burn
Calling all the operators
Breathe in and breathe out
Medication kicking in
Of that I have some doubt

You were standing right in front of me
How was I supposed to know?
All these vultures are after me
Where am I supposed to go?

I’ve been driving around this town
With no destination in sight
Thinking of the past and the things I could not get right
I get so jaded and afraid of what tomorrow holds
I throw my thoughts into the fire and watch their embers glow

Another November winter mystery
What am I supposed to do?

I get so tired of all this chemistry
How was I supposed to know?

You were standing right in front of me
How was I supposed to know?
All these vampires are after me
Where am I supposed to go?
You were standing right in front of me
How was I supposed to know?
All these vultures are after me
Where am I supposed to go?
