Don't go by the book
Won't change on my own
I said in a thousand ways
"We'll know in time"

Coulda, woulda gone off the chase
Won't go
We all can leave mistakes behind

Don't go by the book
Won't change on my own
I said in a thousand ways
"We'll know in time"

Coulda, woulda gone off the chase
Won't go
We all can leave mistakes behind

We're lost in love
Lock down, down, down
Free falling
I'm holding on, but letting go
We run the rules right 'round, 'round, 'round
I'm calling for you to stop
Give up the show
You want your name up in lights
No surprise
You proved I was wrong
Oh, you tried so hard to disguise
But it's been going on too long
Oh, oh, oh

Babe, it's always the same, yeah
There's nothing new
Written out on your face now
I've seen right though
Do I give up the chase, yeah?
Or stick with you?
Think you forgot your lines
One last time, right on cue

You gotta come home
Gonna wave goodbye
Didn't see me here
Didn't doubt it twice
Oh, working nine til five
No, you won't survive
Always waiting in the line for the rest of your life

You want your name up in lights
No surprise
You proved I was wrong
Oh, you tried so hard to disguise
But it's been going on too long
Oh, oh, oh
You want your name up in lights
No surprise
You proved I was wrong
Oh, you tried so hard to disguise
But it's been going on too long
Oh, oh, oh

Don't go by the book
Won't change on my own
I said in a thousand ways
"We'll know in time"

Coulda, woulda gone off the chase
Won't go
We all can leave mistakes behind

We're lost in love
Lock down, down, down
Free falling
I'm holding on, but letting go
We run the rules right 'round, 'round, 'round
I'm calling for you to stop
Give up the show

You want your name up in lights
No surprise
You proved I was wrong
Oh, you tried so hard to disguise
But it's been going on too long
Oh, oh, oh
You want your name up in lights
No surprise
You proved I was wrong
Oh, you tried so hard to disguise
But it's been going on too long
Oh, oh, oh
