Ready/Not Ready Songtext
von Pompeii

I left a message on your phone
It′s still eight months since you have called
I wake at night, I think to myself
Put her to bed so I can rest

It's getting hard to feel sorry for you
I think you′re playing the victim
It's not abandonment when I get pushed away
Your track record has its history of
Repeating habit through apologies
And I've been running that track for far too long

I can′t jump back in at the drop of a dime
I′m not ready yet, I'm not ready yet
What are the odds that we′ll ever see eye to eye?
I'm not ready yet, I′m not ready yet
We're only getting older, soon we′ll run out of time
To put things in perspective


You think you're perfect, you wait and see
This life is hard and it's brutal
I did the best I could for what I had
This leather over your ears, it′s been bound and cuffed
I′m just trying to guide you, is it not enough
For myself and my lack of mind?

I can't jump back in at the drop of a dime
I′m not ready yet, I'm not ready yet
What are the odds that we′ll ever see eye to eye?
I'm not ready yet, I′m not ready yet
We're only getting older, soon we'll run out of time
To put things in perspective

Right now I′m looking at your picture twenty-two years ago
I′m not that far behind from where you once were
I see the boy in your arms, I see the tables turn
I feel myself in your shoes, I feel there's something I′ve learned

I can't jump back in at the drop of a dime
I′m not ready yet, I'm not ready yet
What are the odds that we′ll ever see eye to eye?
I'm not ready yet, still not ready yet
We're only getting older, soon we′ll run out of time
To put things in perspective

In perspective
In perspective
