Ceili Rain - Erasers On Pencils lyrics

rate me

I wrote a "D" when I meant a "B"

Now I'm stuck with the "D"

(That's what erasers on pencils are for)

I tried to think my thoughts with "D"

But it doesn't come out like me

(That's what erasers on pencils are for)

How come I do this everytime?

I s'pose it's prob'ly not a crime

That don't stop it drivin' me outta my mind

I hate when this happens, I hate when this happens, well

Mama better look here

I made some mistakes, I'm afraid I'll make more

N' she says: "Darlin, when those fears appear

That's what erasers on pencils are for"

I introduced my friend to Bruce

But I called him "Brent"

(That's what erasers on pencils are for)

I'd put the blame on my poor brain

But I don't know where it went

(That's what erasers on pencils are for)

I thought I could but now I know

I'll never be some perfect Joe

But it's so hard to just let go

I hate when this happens, I hate when this happens, well

I feel so lowly, so bottom-of-the-bowl-y

So next-to-nearly none

But you won't see me at no pity party

That's a table set for one

Erasing mistakes is supposed to be fun

I've been a loser (That's what erasers on pencils are for)

Been so uptight

I've been so foolish (That's what erasers on pencils are for)

In these many days and nights

How come I do this everytime?

Mother, Father this is my crime

I bet it's drivin' you outta your mind

I betcha hate when this happens, you say:

"Darlin' better look here

You made some mistakes, I'm afraid you'll make more

Well I promise, when those fears appear

I will help you (That's what erasers on pencils are for)

I'll be with you (That's what erasers on pencils are for)

I'll forgive you

That's what erasers on pencils are for<br />
