Boy With Rocket - Lose Everything Lyrics

It's a quarter to midnight
And I'm thinking of you
Sure took a lot of tears
To see us through
But you are running out
I'm working on being blue

I wish I weren't wishing
For somebody like you

I went down to the neighbors
To drink a few
I went down to a barroom
To sing the blues
But every jukebox song
Broke my heart in two

I wish I weren't wishing
For somebody like you

An' it's a problem
I fall into
First I get excited
Then I lose everything
And I'm just waiting
For you to fall through

I wish I weren't wishing
For somebody like you

I had a dream on Thursday
We were in the park
And your hair was on fire
In the purple dark
And when you told me
How it had to be

I knew you weren't wishing
For nobody like me

So I will sit at home
And see your sweet face
We both got memories
Time can't erase
An' I'm not giving up
Until you are through

I'll still be wishing
For somebody like you

An' it's a problem
I fall into
First I get excited
Then I lose everything
And I'm just waiting
For you to fall through

I wish I weren't wishing
I wish I weren't wishing
I wish I weren't wishing
For somebody like you
