Lyrics
I met a new me at 8 am, the other one got lost This was not a trade in, although I wouldn't believe the cost I woke up crying as we said goodbye Me an my old self, each day he vanished more and more As I became someone else
He actually was murdered I had taken him apart But when I put him back together, I couldn't find his heart It was resting underneath a chair, in a bed of bright tin foil If I pulled back the flaps, I could still see it beat I could still hear his voice uncoil, as I said :
I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this life I've met a woman with a thousand faces And I want to make her my wife
How could I have been so mistaken, how could I think that it was true A child that is raised by an idiot, and that idiot then becomes you How could I believe in a movie, how could I believe in a book But most of all how could I listen to you, such an obvious schmuck A life spent listening to assholes, it's funny but it's true So get rid of them I said to myself But first I'm getting rid of you
I want a trade in, a 14th chance at this life I've met a woman with a thousand faces And I want to make her my wife
Take me over to the window, my heart said to my head Please set me on fine, so we can start again I was so wrong that it's funny, and I can't apologize But instead you can be everything that I'm not, the second that I die
Ooohhh, I want a trade in, the second chance at this life I've met a woman with a thousand faces And I want to make her my wife
Ha! A 14th chance at this life, I want a trade in .. ... I said ... uuuhhh, 14th, 14th chance at this life
