You Were Right

And you, were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery

Well, the good things are never free

Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?

And I, was rushin' 'round in circles for a reason to believe

Wipe the slime from off your sleeve

You could follow me for weeks and I'm not goin' anywhere

Sometimes it's hard to love someone

Until the day that they are gone

And I, just had a dream the other night

I was married to the Queen

And Madonna lived next door

I think she took a shine to me

And the kids were all grown up

But I had to turn her down 'cause I was still in love with you

I'm turnin' Madonna down

I'm callin' it my best move

I'll get a ticket to what you need

I, remember doin nothin' on the night Sinatra died

And the night Jeff Buckley died

And the night Kurt Cobain died

And the night John Lennon died

I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone

And that was a lot of nights

And that was a lot of lives

They lost the tickets to what they need

And I, was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life

Always hoped you'd be my wife

But I never found the time

For the question to arrive

I just disguised it in this song

And songs, are never quite the answer

Just a soundtrack to a life

That is over all too soon

Helps to turn the days to night

While I was wrong and you were right

And this was a lesson learned

I'm happy to be your fool

And get you tickets to what you need

I'm turnin' the lights down low

I'm ready to make my move

I'll get you tickets to what you need
