I'll keep the timing of all you said Set it back in your head Creep slowly around like the living dead I may never be the same again We're safe but only when the lights are on Soon enough there's something wrong The timing of all you said How do I get it out of my head I'm placing bets I'm writing checks To keep on living Keep on living, living I'm counting heads Trying hard to forget The ones that I'm missing The ones that I'm missing Missing Missing Wet blanket words you've given me Never ever will they set me free I tucked myself in patiently Covered my mirrors so I couldn't see You wake me up when you're on time I've been sleeping all my life My destiny in your bed How do I get it out of my head And when the sun goes down I wonder Where your head hits the pillow It's like hearing lightening, seeing thunder I'm placing bets I'm writing checks To keep on living Keep on living, living, living I'm counting heads Trying hard to forget The ones that I'm missing The ones that I'm missing Missing Missing How do I get it out of my head There was a time when I thought that I had lost my faith It took a while but I realized it was misplaced And it's a style to pretend like you are far from grace To run a mile Just to find you were in the right place I'm placing bets I'm writing checks To keep on living Keep on living, living, living I'm counting heads Trying hard to forget The ones that I'm missing The ones that I'm missing Missing Missing I'm placing bets I'm writing checks To keep on living Keep on living, living, living I'm counting heads Trying hard to forget The ones that I'm missing The ones that I'm missing Missing Missing I'm placing bets
