The lanes were silent
The surroundings were completely quiet

There was nothing, no one, nothing around for miles
There was absolutely nobody present for miles around

I doused our friendly venture With a hard-faced Three-word gesture
I ruined our friendly plan with a cold three-word expression

I started something I forced you to a zone And you were clearly Never meant to go Hair brushed and parted Typical me, typical me Typical me I started something And now I'm not too sure
I initiated something, put you in a situation that made you uncomfortable, and now I regret it. This is typical of my behavior.

I grabbed you by the guilded beams Uh, that's what tradition means And I doused another venture With a gesture That was absolutely vile
I held you accountable to the expectations of society, and ruined another opportunity with a disgusting action

And now eighteen months' hard labor Seems fair enough
Now it seems reasonable that I should do considerable hard work for the mistake I made

I started something I forced you to a zone And you were clearly Never meant to go Hair brushed and parted Typical me, typical me Typical me I started something And now I'm not too sure
Once again, I caused something that made you uncomfortable and now I have doubts about it. This is just typical of me.

I started something I started something Typical me, typical me Typical me, typical me Typical me, typical me Typical me I started something And now I'm not too sure
Repeatedly, I cause situations that I regret later on and this is just typical of my pattern of behavior. I have started something, but now I'm unsure about it.
