lyrics

Ain't it a shame how one forgets?
Had I known what I know now, I wouldn't be in this miss
But I'm afraid I must confess
Wouldn't do it any other way

Ain't it a shame how one gets lost
Cross the wrong wires, the bomb goes off
But maybe the game is worth the loss
So blow 'em all away

And the city ain't ready for me
And the forest ain't ready for me
No, the world ain't ready for me
But I'm comin' anyway

Ain't it a shame how we possess
All of the knowledge to acknowledge this mess
It's kind of ironic in a way I guess
It never goes away

Ain't it a shame how we all know
We're living and dying as the wind blows
But c'est la vie, I suppose
Let's live our lives away

And the city ain't ready for me
And the forest ain't ready for me
No, the world ain't ready for me
But I'm comin' anyway
