Lyrics
Well now you've done it I'm ashamed to say

I leapt off the rooftop and limped away

Not for nothing is this crooked gait

If I can show you once that I'm not afraid
Expressing a desire to prove courage by showing fearlessness.
No matter what you say, no matter what you do

I wonder why as hard as I try,
Expressing wonder or confusion about persistent thoughts despite efforts.
I'm still thinking of you tonight

What can I say to take it away

I'm still thinking of you tonight

Sick of sleeping so I hopped the fence
Expressing discontent with sleep and choosing a restless action, hopping a fence.
Just getting a laugh at my own expense
Taking humor in one's own misfortune or actions.
I'm tired of trying not to find the street
Expressing weariness in avoiding a certain path or truth.
Where I lost my head and you found your feet

No matter what you say, no matter what you do

I'm still thinking of you tonight
