I've got a trampoline
I've got a ladder so tall that
You wouldn't believe
I'm doing everything that I can do
To get up, get out, get over you

I'm taking every clock on the wall off
I'm turning them backwards
'Til both the hands fall off
I'm doing this to every clock I find
I'm doing my best to turn back the time

I've got these mix tapes
I've got these mistakes
I'm getting better at making
Both everyday
You're the reason why Misery and Missouri
Sound so much the same to me

I'm watching kung fu flicks
Studying every punch
And every kick
Trying to learn some more efficient ways
To beat myself up for making these mistakes

I've got these mix tapes
I've got these mistakes
I'm getting better at making
Both everyday
You're the reason why Misery and Missouri
Sound so much the same to me

Another track list that I never should have wrote her
'Cause "Hey now, hey now - don't dream it's over"
Patiently waiting for the next time that we meet
In the front of "our house in the middle of the street"
"Barefoot on a heart of glass," tell me how it feels
Waiting for something to happen when you're "head over heels"
"I ran so far away" only to come undone
'Cause you come and you go like a "Karma Chameleon"

I've got these mix tapes
I've got these mistakes
I'm getting better at making
Both everyday
You're the reason why Misery and Missouri
Sound so much the same to me

It was good leveling with you
It was good leveling you
You're the reason why Misery and Missouri
Sound so much the same to me
