I'll stay sober when I come home this October,
and I'll break the windows
and let the chill put us to sleep.
But if I were to stay for a while,
I'd reprise the same condescending style;

I should go, I should go
if I'm gone already.
Give me the chance and I agree,
I let it take over me,
and we're both so tired of this pacifying.

Give me the week and I'll be leaving; I'll be waiting for things to calm down.
You just want me to say I'm afraid to commit to anything.
But I'm not ready to say that yet.

I'm unsteady, I guess I'm drunk already,
but this could be the call that finally hangs me outside to dry.
Give me the chance and I agree,
I let it take over me,
and we're both so tired of this pacifying.

Give me the week and I'll be leaving; I'll be waiting for things to calm down.
You just want me to say I'm afraid to commit to anything.
But I'm not ready to say that yet.

I'm so nervous, I guess I got drunk on purpose,
but if I've done nothing wrong,
then why are we already screaming?
Give me the chance and I agree,
I let it take over me,
and we're both so tired of this pacifying.

Give me the week and I'll be leaving; I'll be waiting for things to calm down.
You just want me to say I'm afraid to commit to anything.
But I'm not ready to say that yet.
