Novocaine

If it's not work then it's school, or something else in between
Whatever it takes just to keep me from thinking
And I haven't been sleeping, which is really a shame
'Cause it seems as good a way as anything

To forget myself for once
To find escape, however brief
Some kind of makeshift novocaine
To dull these feelings I can't shake

So tonight, I drink to forget
I'll raise this glass to everything we never were
And if I can get just a single moment
Where I can think of you without my hands shaking
Then that would be enough for me

There've been a whole lot of words exchanged
Between you and I
And I can't help but wonder just how many were lies
And how many you meant when you opened your mouth
But now looking back they have filled you with doubt

All the same, they haunt my steps
Exhaled in every lonely breath
The promises you couldn't keep
Aren't all that's keeping you from me

So tonight, I drink to forget
I'll raise this glass to everything we never were
And if I can get just a single moment
Where I can think of you without my hands shaking
Then that would be enough for me

So tonight, I drink to forget
I'll raise this glass to everything we never were
And if I can get just a single moment
Where I can think of you without my hands shaking
Then that would be enough for me
