A Shot In The Dark

I'm leaving loves behind
 While finding time to rhyme
 Mistakes with what's at stake
 No, that's just too contrived
 Can I get a little taste of your lips so I feel alive?
 Can you offer up the same uncertainty that I define?
 Are you up for keeping in touch once a month or twice a year?
 Can you handle regret and a lack of will to persevere?
 This apathy will haunt me over and over and over...
 So when will I wake up?
 Please pinch me I don't feel a thing
 I've got a hand of wish and one of chance
 Don't bother, it's enough to get me through it
 I close my eyes and roll a set of loaded dice, I'm sure
 As convincing as a shot in the dark could be
 I'll keep doing what I love with a stab at integrity
 I'm adding water to w(h)ine
 Pretending I'm not that guy
 I'm cracking jokes all the time
 to cover up a steady decline
 Can I get a little taste of your lips so I feel alive?
 Can you offer up the same uncertainty that I define?
 Are you up for keeping in touch once a month or twice a year?
 Can you handle regret and a lack of will to persevere?
 This apathy will haunt me over and over and over...
 So when will I wake up?
 Please pinch me I don't feel a thing
 I've got a hand of wish and one of chance
 Don't bother, it's enough to get me through it
 I close my eyes and roll a set of loaded dice, I'm sure
 As convincing as a shot in the dark could be
 I'll keep doing what I love with a stab at integrity
 Leaving always gets the best of me when I can't say hello again
 It's just another way to remember
 It's just another way to forget
 So when will I wake up?
 Please pinch me I don't feel a thing
 I've got a hand of wish and one of chance
 Don't bother, it's enough to get me through it
 I close my eyes and roll a set of loaded dice, I'm sure
 As convincing as a shot in the dark could be
 I'll keep doing, doing, doing what I love
