about

I really wanted a song you can dance to. If that's your thing.

lyrics

I’m tired
and I’m tired of being tired
and I hurt
from digging in the dirt
my vision’s 20/20
and my dreams are ordinary
but that doesn’t stop me feeling blue
and the best laid plans of mice and men
are never guaranteed and then
can disappear entirely out of view
but that doesn’t stop me loving you

you’re great
and your the kind of great I ain’t
My dreams
seem more like tragic schemes
The lengths I have to go to
and the hoops I have to jump through
all seem delivered right on cue
and the best laid plans of mice and men
are never guaranteed and then
can disappear entirely out of view

these things are clearly sent to try us
It will all be worth it in the end
I won’t apologise, I’m biased
if you don’t feel it,
at least you can pretend

and the best laid plans of mice and men
are never guaranteed and then
can disappear entirely out of view
but that doesn’t stop me loving you
