Get Your Ready Coat On

You lay on your bed with the rays of the sunlight, red
Plucking grays from the side of my head
So like a dog, I play dead
I can hear what's behind your eyes
The cacophony in your mind

But you've been wondering where I spend all my time
You want answers but you don't dare to ask
We've been pushing and pulling like a fish on the line
But your fighting will's much stronger than mine
And a penny for your thoughts only adds up to dimes
A penny for your thoughts is gonna add up to dimes

So get your ready coat on
I can hear you whisper in the early morn'
And I can feel your presence even though you've gone away

And all the fights just drone on
I can't hold a candle to your crying scorn
And I can't get the energy to take you on again

But my mind, it works so differently than yours
My heart, it wanders
My mind, it works so differently than yours
My heart it wanders, and yours stays the course
But nothing's gonna change my ways

No
And I try and I try
But nothing's gonna change me and my ways
Nothing's gonna change me and my ways

You forgot my birthday again
Guess that's where we stand these days
You forgot my birthday this year again
Guess that's where we stand

And time and time again I wonder if I just said no
Would it make it better if we never kidded ourselves
Or if I just worked on myself?
If I just worked on myself

So get your ready coat on
So get your ready coat on
So get your ready coat on
So get your ready coat on
