And when I asked for a separate room
It was late at night and we'd been driving since noon
But if I'd known how it would sound to you
I would have stayed in your bed
For the rest of my life
Just to prove I was right
That it's harder to be friends than lovers
And you shouldn't try to mix the two
'Cause if you do it and you're still unhappy
Then you know that the problem is you

And it's true that I stole your lighter
And it's also true that I lost the map
But when you said that I wasn't worth talking to
Well, I'd also take your word on that

But if you'd known how that would sound to me
You would have taken it back
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground
And boxed it up and buried it in the ground

'Cause you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be all right

You put in my hand a loaded gun
And then told me not to fire it
When you did the things you said were up to me
And then accused me of trying to fuck it up

But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be all right

And the license said you had to stick around until I was dead
But if you're tired of looking at my face, I guess I already am
I think I already am

But you've never been a waste of my time
It's never been a drag
So take a deep breath and count back from ten
And maybe you'll be all right
