♫ LYRICS ♫
HUGO:
I was a light packer
With nothing much to lose
Until I met you
Now everything’s confused
There’s a weight on my shoulders
A crevice in my heart
And you have made a home there
Made me crave a fresh start
I count every hour
Knowing one day we’ll go sour
DONELLA:
Tear out the pages
Toss the notebooks
Torch the files
‘Cause I would give it all away
For one of your smiles
We look good on paper
But ink is not real life
And you will go back home
And make a wonderful wife
I can feel your power
I can feel us going sour
HUGO & DONELLA:
Oh, darlin’ we have an expiration date
Oh, darlin’ you’re moving on
One day you’ll wake up and realize we’re tempting fate
One day I’ll wake up and you’ll be gone
HUGO (overlapping):
I was a light-packer
With nothing much to lose
Until I met you
Now everything’s confused
There’s a weight on my shoulders
A crevice in my heart
And you have made a home there
Made me crave a fresh start
DONELLA (overlapping):
Tear out the pages
Toss the notebooks
Torch the files
‘Cause I would give it all away
For one of your smiles
We look good on paper
But ink is not real life
And you will go back home
And make a wonderful wife
HUGO:
I curse every hour
DONELLA:
I shrink from your power
HUGO & DONELLA:
As we go sour
Oh, darlin’ we have an expiration date
Darlin’, it’s simply a matter of time
And though I know you’re mine
You’ll find
That I’m not your soulmate
And so you’ll leave me
Rotting in the grime
But when you reach your hand
I’ll take the stand
I’ll take the bait
‘Cause darlin’
You’re my favourite waste of time
