Running Out Of Ink lyrics

I stopped into a club
I thought I d see a show
Everyone was there
At least everyone I know
Their knickers in a knot
Their hands upon their heart
The best they d ever seen
The greatest work of art
I wished that it was me....

It s bleaker than you think
I m running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink

A party at a friend s
Toronto s coolest scene
I thought I d bring a tape
To show them where I d been
They listened for a while
The lyrics made them smile
They said that it was fine
Although it s not their style
I said it wasn t me

Once upon a time
I couldn t get enough
Until I made it big
And that s when it got rough
Dissapointed now
Perhaps a bit surprised
To look them in the face
And see it in their eyes
They wish it wasn t me

It s bleaker than you think
I m running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink

I used to hold you close
You used to tell me things
You never told a soul
Until you heard me sing
The details of your life
Condensed into a song
The neighbor and his wife
Work out and sing along
And you can t look at me

It s bleaker than you think
I m running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink

Could song be an alibi
A lyric replacement for falling in love
But now that the well is dry
I can t understand what I ve been singing of...

Do you know what it is to love?
To really love?
To really love....
Do I?

I cycled by your house
I saw you on the lawn
I see you all the time
Now that you are gone
I tried to call your name
But something made me stop
I called you once a day
Until you called the cops
And told them it was me

I filled a plastic bag
with everything I wrote
I threw it off a bridge
and thought that it would float.
The water made it sink
the bag was bleeding ink.
I wished that I could swim
I wished that I could drink
I wished that it was me.

It s bleaker than you think
I m running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
I m running out of ink
Give a guy a break
This is what it takes
To drive a man to drink
To drive a man to drink
To drive a man to drink
