Damage Songtext
von You Am I

I woke up with a war in my head
An old man′s grumble
And an extra space in the bed
And old John Prine
Don't sing the next line
About something that can make me smile
I′m gonna have to be content
Stare at your baby photos
Till it makes some sense
Were you ever mine anyway?

Speak up as I drop away

I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
I wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me

I burned six thousand miles
Sorry for all the times
I just can't add up the sums
To find the damage we've done


I fall for you like a dog from a tree
Keep a straight stitch face
As the ground makes a bed for me
I keep my eye where I fell
I see there′s no replies
You can run so long from sadness
That you′re never at home for the fun
I can't make excuses
For the shorthand abuses
But thank God it ain′t a Sunday night

I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
I wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me

I burned six thousand miles
Sorry for all the times
I just can't add up the sums
To find the damage

I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
I wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
I′m burning out in the lights
And I'm sorry for all the times
I just can′t see how it comes
The damage we've done

The damage we've done
The damage we′ve done
