rate me

He got bad when she got mad<br>He lowered it one more time and she got even<br>No one heard a single word<br>But as the clock ticked from next door I could hear her breathing<br>I said good morning mr. sun, now I would like you to meet my friend mr. bomb<br>(he has a house made out of butterflies)<br>Well I can't sleep sometimes but I've been told<br>It's a lonely condition called growing old.<br>Let me stumble sometimes...<br><br>I'm looking for someone to cling to, yeah...<br>So what you think about that? <br>This time, well it all comes down<br>To loss and strain and butterflies,<br>And then it comes right down to me.<br><br>Hello, have you been alright? <br>Did you find a piece of something<br>Wrapped around the light side of your life<br>To make you feel better? <br>Did you get out with your sanity? <br>Did you save a little something for the people in need? <br>Did you know with the rain in your pockets, you can change the weather? <br><br>I'm looking for something to cling to, yeah<br>Girl, what you think about that? <br>Well this time, yeah it all comes down<br>To loss and strain and butterflies<br>Then it comes right down to me.<br>Well this time, this time, yeah it all comes down<br>To loss and strain and butterflies.<br>Hey yeah yeah, come on down to me...<br><br>Is this just the total for the wages of our sins? <br>Have you made yourself a victim in a game that you can't win? <br>And are we caving in? <br>Does it all begin with loss and strain and butterflies? <br>Does it come right down to me, anymore? <br>Yeah this time, maybe, does it all come down<br>To loss and strain and butterflies? <br>Hey yeah yeah, well...<br>Come on down to me.
