17 Reasons

To Go

by: R. A. Cvetich

Watching my life fall apart

On the roller rink floor

On the roller rink floor

Scratching your name out of the heart

On the bathroom door

On the bathroom door

Pulling my life to the curb of heaven

To ask God for directions

CHORUS

My heart’s filing for a restraining order

Pick up the payphone but you’re not worth the quarters

My impulse is commander

Cuz my conscience is MIA

I shot Cupid right out of the sky

Ripped his arrows out of my side

I’ve got 17 reasons to go

And only one to stay

Only one to stay

Taking the batteries out of my clocks

To keep my future from coming

Keep my future from coming

Overdosing on Novacaine

But the pain ain’t numbing

But the pain ain’t numbing

Cursing my heart right on through

For every time it beat for you

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge

The microphone is hitting the floor

Watching her hand slip into yours

While I’m singing you our song

You our song, you our song

Our song

Repeat CHORUS
