Running Out Of Ink lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Running Out Of Ink lyrics I stopped into a club I thought I d see a show Everyone was there At least everyone I know Their knickers in a knot Their hands upon their heart The best they d ever seen The greatest work of art I wished that it was me.... It s bleaker than you think I m running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink A party at a friend s Toronto s coolest scene I thought I d bring a tape To show them where I d been They listened for a while The lyrics made them smile They said that it was fine Although it s not their style I said it wasn t me Once upon a time I couldn t get enough Until I made it big And that s when it got rough Dissapointed now Perhaps a bit surprised To look them in the face And see it in their eyes They wish it wasn t me It s bleaker than you think I m running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink I used to hold you close You used to tell me things You never told a soul Until you heard me sing The details of your life Condensed into a song The neighbor and his wife Work out and sing along And you can t look at me It s bleaker than you think I m running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink Could song be an alibi A lyric replacement for falling in love But now that the well is dry I can t understand what I ve been singing of... Do you know what it is to love? To really love? To really love.... Do I? I cycled by your house I saw you on the lawn I see you all the time Now that you are gone I tried to call your name But something made me stop I called you once a day Until you called the cops And told them it was me I filled a plastic bag with everything I wrote I threw it off a bridge and thought that it would float. The water made it sink the bag was bleeding ink. I wished that I could swim I wished that I could drink I wished that it was me. It s bleaker than you think I m running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink I m running out of ink Give a guy a break This is what it takes To drive a man to drink To drive a man to drink To drive a man to drink song lyrics
