Intro

   
   
    
    

Verse 1

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it 
Doomed 
Pick your pockets full of sorrow
Run away with me tomorrow 
June 

Bridge

We'll try to ease the pain
Somehow we feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets go

Verse 2

I send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so so dreary 
Dream 
I'm rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils 
Scream 

Chorus

And I fail but when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will

Solo

    
     

Verse 3

Mother weep the years I'm missin'
All our time can't be given 
Back 
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
That cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling

Chorus

So bad that when I can, I will
Words defy the plan, when I can, I will

Verse 4

Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it
Old enough to always feel it
Always old, I'll always feel this
No more promise, no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to

Chorus

be me and when I can, I will
Try to understand that when I can, I will
