lyrics

I don’t want to be the guy who breaks things
I want to be Chaplin, the man who always lands upon his feet
Always in smile, and always with that heart upon his sleeve
oh that could be like me

I don’t want to be the guy who’s clumsy
I want to be Tarzan, swinging with the Mangani
and whenever inspired, gracefully ascend into the trees
All the little boys want to be like me

And you were there and you were everything to me
But I prepared to fail you with such certainty

So no, I won’t call, I won’t write
I won’t borrow your things
And I won’t beg, I won’t plead
I won’t make you trust me
You’d be free, you just stay away from me

I don’t want to be the guy who cannot be depended on for things
I want to be Big Ben, famous for reliability and a great song
a Neo-Gothic paragon of loyalty

And you were there and you were everything to me
But I prepared to fail you with such certainty

So no, I won’t call, I won’t write
I won’t borrow your things
And I won’t beg, I won’t plead
I won’t make you trust me
You’d be free, you just stay away from me
You will mend
Just don’t take me back again
Please

Soft and vulnerable for a moment, and then suddenly unleashed, it is a powerfully dynamic instrument, drawing comparisons to the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Brandi Carlyle, and Sinead O’Connor. ... more
