All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watchin' the puddles gather rain And all I can do is just pour some tea for two And speak my point of view but it's not sane It's not sane I just want someone to say to me, oh I'll always be there when you wake, yeah You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made And I don't understand why sleep all day And I start to complain that there's no rain And all I can do is read a book to stay awake And it rips my life away but it's a great escape Escape, escape, escape All I can say is that my life is pretty plain You don't like my point of view, you think that I'm insane It's not sane, it's not sane I just want someone to say to me, oh I'll always be there when you wake, yeah You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today So stay with me and I'll have it made, I'll have it made, I'll have it made Oh, no, no, you know, I really wanna, really gonna have it made You know, I'll have it made?
