Way Too Far

I have never been a better man
I’ve failed at everything I’ve tried grand style
Of course I know that’s mostly in my head
But I know as well your head is all that counts

You’ve seen me going down all the way
But I’d never think you didn’t care
Try putting out a fire using your bare hands:
Nothing would be saved and you’d get burnt

Oh sometimes I wish I’d stayed in college
Fix a point and never look away
But I have gone way too far for turning back
OK, I’ll be damned, OK

Lovely was the madhouse in her eyes
Lovely was the way she got me all wrong
Lovely was the sunrise when I left her bed
And walked away, oh never to return

I could never quit her in my mind
And by now she might be dead for all I know
Living with some guy who avoids her eye
Or laundering money for the narco in Mexico, I don’t know

It’s just sometimes I wish I’d stayed in college
Fix a point and never look away
But I have gone way too far for turning back
OK, I’ll be damned, OK
OK, I’ll be damned, OK
