Disaster
D.A. Wallach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It should come as no surprise
Baby, I’m tired
This lease on love expired long ago
It’s high time it found its way
Into the fire
Someone's missing out you’d come to know
While I don't believe in leaving
There’s no way I’ll say I’ll stay
Small disasters happen after
Anyway
This can’t be good enough for you
A bleeding heart that's black and blue
A future run aground and left for dead
All the ink is running out
Nothing left to talk about
It's time to kill the lights and go to bed
While I don't believe in leaving
There’s no way I’ll say I’ll stay
Small disasters happen after
Anyway
Never mind the reasons why
We’re better off to say goodbye
And don’t wonder where I’m going
And I won’t wonder where you’ve been
And it’s no wonder why it’s futile to decide
To give it up or go all in
Small disasters come right back again
It should come as no surprise
Baby, I’m tired
Baby, I’m tired
Never mind the reasons why
We’re better off to say goodbye
And don’t wonder where I’m going
And I won’t wonder where you’ve been
And it’s no wonder why it’s futile to decide
To give it up or go all in
Small disasters come right back again




Come right back again
Come right back again
