For When You Don't Hear It Right

Every time I see you down
I remind you
That the world’s still movin' around
We’re all breathin' in different beats
To maintain the rhythm
The sequence of living
Take that however you’ll take it
Straight black
Sugar and cream
Laid back
Focused on the details
Whatever you say
I know what you mean
And then I get to your apartment
You’re lying there on the floor
With the bottle in your hand
A note you wrote 'cause you were tired
Of thinking the same hackneyed thoughts
You’re done trying to understand
Every time I see you down
I remind you
That the world’s still movin' around
We’re all breathin' in different beats
To maintain the rhythm
The sequence of living
Take that however you’ll take it
Straight black
Sugar and cream
And then I get to your apartment
You’re lying there on the floor
With the bottle in your hand
A note you wrote 'cause you were tired
Of thinking the same hackneyed thoughts
You’re done trying to understand
