Songtexte: Houston Calls. 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
