And when I asked
For a separate room
It was late at night
And we'd been driving since noon

But if I'd known
How that would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed
For the rest of my life, just to prove I was right

That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
Because if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you

And it's true that I stole your lighter
And it's also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
I had to take your word on that

But if you'd known
How that would sound to me
You would've taken it back

And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Boxed it up and buried it in the ground
Burned it up and thrown it away

[Verse]
They put in my hand, a loaded gun
and then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to fuck it up

[Chorus]
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright

[Verse]
And the license said you had to stick around
Until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face
I guess I already am

[Chorus]
But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be alright
