Prolonged aggravation
Seems a few minutes become days,
our utopia’s been lost in a haze
Can’t see through the fog,
headaches from the howling of the dog
Stranded in the dark run out of fuel,
my Iphone is nearly dead, how cruel
Bang my fist in anger on the dash,
thinkin how sweet life could be with a little cash
Sometimes it seems life can be such a tease
Go from happy to hell as quick as a sneeze
Can’t see wonderland through your looking glass
there’s too much condensation
But most of all darling it seems
you're suffering from a case of prolonged aggravation
Sometimes you blink and seem to lose a day, remember when it
never seemed that way
Looking forward was such a lovely thought,
sharing the connection that you perpetually sought
Spinning in excuses and fears coated with regret,
despite telling yourself you deserve better, you forget
Sometimes it seems life can be such a tease
Go from happy to hell as quick as a sneeze
Can’t see wonderland through your looking glass there’s too
much condensation
But most of all darling it seems you're suffering from a case
of prolonged aggravation
Run away from the cycle that’s always stuck on spin, open
your mind to the love that’s ready to begin
Be the engine that runs the train down your own tracks, drive
across that mirror never mind the cracks
Let’s roll away from the weight of the pain, ride in style
see the country from our love train
The journey of a lifetime right there in our mind, the two
of us locked in a gaze life’s greatest find
Sometimes it seems life can be such a tease
Go from happy to hell as quick as a sneeze
Can’t see wonderland through your looking glass there’s too
much condensation
But most of all darling it seems you're suffering from a case
of prolonged aggravation
Let’s bring it to a close, all steady as she goes, steam
blows releasing condensation
Drifting off into the night sky, dissipating into thin air
along with all our aggravation
