I could catch up to, to where you are

And see if we can make it right

If I thought meeting you somewhere in the dark

Was gonna shed any new light

Oh, we'd sit around, we'd talk a while

Make polite excuses

But the cat has my tongue and I'm not sayin' much

'Cause I get shy around bullshit

My new timepiece is watching ice melt

Down the bottom of my glass

And I love to watch them fuses burn

Down towards their future plans

Gets me thinkin' 'bout, it's time to empty out

These pockets of their idle hands

And sing

Lock all the doors, pull the phone from the wall

Run and hide

Oh, I used to be, I used to be such a nice guy

Maybe clarity will creep up on me

And reset my senses like a clock

And you'll convince me that you're reality

Is a better idea than the one that I've got

And you give me a second chance at my second chance

And we will laugh about my near miss

And the good Lord will reward my ignorance

With a little bliss

And I'll see a welcome face in the mirror that I don't recognize

Oh, I used to be, I used to be such a nice guy

But now the details are so vague, it's so strange, like a previous life

Oh, I used to be such a nice guy

But now you say I don't know when to admit that I'm lost

When too stubbornly insist that I'm not

Oh, dear, bless every thought in your thoughtful head
