[Verse 1]
Salutations, to whom it may concern
The litter box has overflowed, the frozen dinner burned
Oh, we're runnin' low on wine, my man, could you please swing by the store?
My TV's just reality and I can't watch no more

[Verse 2]
There's a shining diamond somewhere where a kid is strikin' out
His dad is in the dugout, he's foamin' at the mouth
A stomach's turnin' sour inside of a disappointed scout
Yeah, he thought he'd found the real deal, but now he's got his doubts

[Chorus]
So it's over before it began
But I could nurse you in the triage
I could stick you with some pins
But it's hopeless, these rules make no sense
First they say we can't be lovers
And now they say we can't be friends

[Verse 3]
Ruminations, this medicine don't work
Had that same thought ten thousand times, it's only gettin' worse
Swore off temptation but what if it's what I really wanna do?
But how could I apologize for tellin' you the truth?
[Verse 4]
There's a burnt out light bulb above my head that's stolen my ideas
There's a yearbook on the book shelf that can't explain the years
Well, I never should have signed it but you know summer's comin' soon
When I almost drowned, you gave me mouth to mouth beside your neighbor's pool

[Chorus]
It was over before it began
You could've left me in the water
But you made me live again
And I'm sorry I can't pay you back
I wanna hold you till the world dissolves
But we just can't get attached
