The Governor’s Waltz

LETRA

The Governor’s Waltz

I was the belle of the Governor's Ball
Hiding in the bathroom like Shelley Duvall
You had a nosebleed, you were in my way
And you didn't remind me of anything

So, let's see how long we can go without touching
Why don't you sing me to sleep?
I know you'd never actually think about jumping
But do it for me

Two kids in a trenchcoat living alone
I was too happy to feel at home
Dancing ourselves clean late New Year's Eve
You deserved better, you wanted me (Six, five, four, three, two, one, Happy New Year)

So let's see how long we can go without talking
Watch me pretending to sleep
I'm next to you, you're next to nothing
You promised that you'd never leave
But maybe you'll do it for me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Now

Let's see how far I can run without stopping
And she can pretend to be me
Since she took my place in my bed on that stage
I have not lost any sleep
Being myself wasn't easy, do it for me
