Story behind the song
I was thinking about everything that attacked me in my life and I just transcended into another mindset of someone else, someone just being around and being stood up and being tired of everything...
This is the only song on the Four-EP with any acoustic guitar in it...
Lyrics
Simmer down, take a deep breath
Check your watch for the time
Take a minute, change your pace
If you're early, noone will mind
Phone rings, stop for the call
The voice sounds familiar
"Babe, I'm sorry, I can't make it tonight."
And she hangs up on him
Now he's going out, for a drive
Somewhere far, away from this time
He'll leave it all, but especially her
Alone, to his tonic and gin
Sits down, alone on his bed
Crying in the undertow
The time means nothing anymore
He has all the time in the world
Stopped for him, at his expense
It's not the first time or the last
"I'm tired of this, tired of her"
Puts his hurt in the past
"So take me, and break me
And build yourself up new
Take what you like that you find
And make the one you want.
Tell me, what you want from me
And don't make me feel ashamed
I've got a lot to live at a fast pace
I don't like to play these games"
Now he's going out, for a drive
Somewhere far, away from this time
He'll leave it all, but especially her
Alone, to his tonic and gin
"So take me, and break me
And build yourself up new
Take what you like that you find
And make the one you want.
Tell me, what you want from me
And don't make me feel ashamed
I've got a lot to live at a fast pace
I don't like to play these games"
