Sleeping on the Couch
from Not Afraid of NothingTwelve years of schooling and I never thought I'd find a girl who understands me. Twelve years of fooling myself each time I think I've found the one: from the sandbox to the bleachers, from the students to the teachers. Seventeen years of my life gone by, time to round it up and be a man. Living so lonely just to get by...you were not a part of that plan. I've been growing up too fast. I've got one more year, I'm gonna make it last. Sleeping on the couch, with you in my arms. I can't say that I've known you for too long. I wonder, where've you been? 'Cause you took my broken-hearted song; you took me in--from the shadows to the sunlight. No more darkness, no more bed bite. And there is someone who came before you, she lives on the other side. She knows she can't give me the things you do--not here, not now, not ever. I've been growing up too fast. I've got one more year, I'm gonna make it last. Sleeping on the couch, with you in my arms.
