I couldn't figure out
Just what you had meant when you said to
Stop taking everything literally,
But I stopped taking when there was such little left
Dropping away the minutes for dimes and
Pawning off weeks for hours on the day
You can't say I wasted it all away
It's these damn exchange rates to blame
Every mirror screams at me
I hope you can't sleep
I hope you get sick
I know you wake up feeling like shit
I woke up on a new day
Just to see things had stayed the same
Except for telling myself I need to change
But if I were in charge, there'd be nothing left
Dropping away the minutes for dimes and
Pawning off weeks for hours on the day
You can't say I wasted it all away
It's these damn exchange rates to blame
Every mirror screams at me
I hope you can't sleep
I hope you get sick
I know you wake up feeling like shit
