Additional Lyrics 2. Now I know I'm alwavs right, that's a Thought that never even crossed mv mind. Don't touch me there I gotta be pure. So smack that hand and read this verse. So I wrecked your life, what the heck My new found faith will pav by check.

3. So this is me and that's mv song, And I guess you can see that we don't get along. I've shut the doors on what we had, So now she can sleep with her dear ol' dad. Mv eyes are dry and mv hands are clean, And I can't believe all the things l,ve seen.

Additional Lyrics 2. You've seen that sweaty jet rag Feeling come over him and I've Seen that boy nod into a dream A time or two. And on his way out his glazed Stare will make you stop and wonder. Hey William is this that last time I'm gonna look at you? But the next day the phone will ring And it will be him. Can you drive?
