2001 Reasons
August 1, 2005
Two-thousand and one reasons why
I should leave right now
Two-thousand and one reasons why I should stay
And I know you’re going to help me decipher them somehow
Gray light of early dawn Like flat paint on the windowpanes As I opened my eyes I kissed your cheek it was Not once, not twice but three times It was not a kiss goodbye
Can I just take you away Or do I have to let you stay away With a suspect flower in my hand Will I be shot down or will I just be blown away To appeal to higher law My lips on hers I can still pray And redeem my soul another day
And I still recall the fire in your smile When you saw I got it as you played those tracks Afterwards the two of us crashed down together Like a house of cards All aces and jacks
I stand hurt and prepared to escape From all the fucking pain Two-thousand and one reasons Whether I run or stay makes no difference things will never be the same
Gray light of early dawn Like flat paint on the windowpanes As I opened my eyes I kissed your cheek it was Not once, not twice but three times It was not a kiss goodbye
Can I just take you away Or do I have to let you stay away With a suspect flower in my hand Will I be shot down or will I just be blown away To appeal to higher law My lips on hers I can still pray And redeem my soul another day
And I still recall the fire in your smile When you saw I got it as you played those tracks Afterwards the two of us crashed down together Like a house of cards All aces and jacks
I stand hurt and prepared to escape From all the fucking pain Two-thousand and one reasons Whether I run or stay makes no difference things will never be the same
