Catch 22

I know all too well by now about losing situations that have no way out
I know too well by now
If I can't forgive myself then no one else will

I'm picking up the pieces to a story that I'm gonna tell and
I cannot do this by myself
I won't leave it to lie on the shelf
I won't leave it to get all dusty and
I cannot do this on my own

I know all too well by now about losing situations that have no way out
Like all the locked doors that you keep around
And the coffin as you close it and put me deep in the ground

You can try and change my mind
To paint your face in a new light
I'm falling head over heels for you
I should learn to keep my shoes tied
Each time I hit the pavement
I lose a couple more irrelevant teeth
When I'm happy I'm stuck with holes in my mouth and
When you're asleep you're here with me

I know all too well by now about losing situations that have no way out
Like all the locked doors that you keep shutting in your own face
Have fun at your snails pace, keep running in place

I know too well by now that
If I can't forgive myself then no one else will
I won't keep letting myself down
If you wanna lay down in the dirt then
I'll watch from the clouds but
I wont keep letting myself down

I know all too well by now about losing situations that have no way out
