Before It’s Over - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Well, the rain outside is pouring down like bombs on my parade

And you're not here to calm my nerves when I'm frantic and afraid

Oh, the madness in the air so thick, you can cut it with a knife

And the loneliness is all I've got to get me through the night

You left me years ago, just sitting in this hole

But it feels like yesterday, 'cause you won't let me go

It's like a thorn that keeps on diggin' in my side

And, to be honest, it's like both of us have died

And everything about myself just makes me wanna scream

Oh, why can't everything feel like I'm livin' in a dream?

And all I wanna do is have another chance to fall in love again

Before it's over

The taste of love and gasoline, it still permeates the room

And every sacred vow that we both made

Well, it fades like your perfume

Oh, I serenade you every night even though I know you're gone

And dance naked in the pale moonlight to our favorite song

You left me years ago, just sitting in this hole

But it feels like yesterday, 'cause you won't let me go

It's like a thorn that keeps on diggin' in my side

And, to be honest, it's like both of us have died

And everything about myself just makes me wanna scream

Oh, why can't everything feel like I'm livin' in a dream?

And all I wanna do is have another chance to fall in love again

Before it's over

Woo, yeah, huh!

Hey!

You left me years ago, just lyin' in this hole

It feels like yesterday, why won't you let me go?

It's like a thorn that keeps on diggin' in my side

And, to be honest, it's like both of us have died

And everything about myself just makes me wanna scream

Why can't everything feel like I'm livin' in a dream?

And all I wanna do is have another chance to fall in love again

Before it's over
