From across the room, you caught my eye
On a battlefield for peace of mind
And it hurts like hell every time you walk by
So bring the pain just one more time

I wonder if you’re even worth the ink that pours from the pen I stole from the bank
You could be another night to forget or lead to a lifetime of regret
Or, maybe, somewhere between the two
I thought it over, I just never thought it through

From across the room, you caught my eye
On a battlefield for peace of mind
And it hurts like hell every time you walk by
So bring the pain just one more time

A proclivity for procrastination and fruitless thoughts from the frustration
A hurricane that bursts through port, amongst the sharks and miles from shore
And I wish you could drown here too
I thought it over, I just never thought it through

If I grew a pair, I could’ve gotten your name
And you’d be there when my phone rang
But at some point, this all has to stop
So I’ll sit back and wait for my balls to drop

Hey, stop now, how did it come to this, such a silver lining for a pessimist?
If I retook the chance that I missed, I could’ve been a number at the bottom of your list
From across the room, you caught my eye
On a battlefield for peace of mind
And it hurts like hell every time you walk by
So bring the pain just one more time
