Off of Commission - For the Moment

Wake me up
It's been a long night of drinking at the bar
Whiskey shots help to cover up the harm
She left it all unglued
It's Christmas time and her birthday soon
But where'd her smile go
It's been a long time since I've seen it unless she's stoned
Too ambitious to be sitting by the phone
I loved her for herself even though
I made life hell
If you smile like you mean it
Here's to you, here's to I
And here's to the little things accomplished
As we talked away the nights
Here's to fantasies in fall
All in all you were my queen
And here's to admitting our defeat
Before wiping knife blades clean

And I miss the girl
Who looked me right in the eye
And said you make me so happy I could just die
And for the moment I was home, I should have froze it just to hold a little longer
A little longer
And I will pack it away for a rainy day
And I will play it again when the skies are grey
And for the moment
Wish I could do it all over

And honestly the jealousy
Was written by myself
Insecurities from past times came falling off the shelf
I'm deceitful and a liar
This is karma I need help don't hold me up no more
The final hand has now been dealt
If you fall asleep in city lights with someone else you need
Hopefully they make it right and give you hope just to believe
That this is life and it's alright
It's fuckin hard
But if we try to move on
We might just make it out alive

And I miss the girl
Who looked me right in the eye
And said you make me so happy I could just die
And for the moment I was home, I should have froze it just to hold a little longer
A little longer
And I will pack it away for a rainy day
And I will play it again when the skies are grey
And for the moment
Wish I could do it all over
