I'm Ready

I'm Ready

Song byJack's Mannequin

in AlbumEverything In Transit

(And today was a day just like any other)

I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge

Unraveling with every word

With every word you say, make me believe

That I won't feel your tires on the street

As I'm finding the words... you're getting away

I come undone, oh yes, I do

Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you

And every word you say, say something sweet

Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth

As I'm finding the words... you're getting away

Well I'm ready, I'm ready to drop

Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop

I'm ready so don't stop, Keep pushing

I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready

I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call

I am aware, I've been misled

I disconnect my heart, my head

Don't wanna recognize when things go bad

The things that you'll accept

Except that I am finding the words... to say

I'm ready, I'm ready to drop

Oh oh oh oh oh, I'm ready

I'm ready so don't stop

(I wake up to find it's another

Four aspirin morning, and I dive in

I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday.

When did society decide that we had to change

And wash a tee shirt after every individual use:

If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it.

I take the stairs to the car

And there's fog on the windows.

(And I'm Fighting the words...)

I need caffeine in my blood stream,

I take caffeine in the blood stream.

I grip the wheel and all at once I realize:

(And you're getting away...)

My life has become a boring pop song

And everyone's singing along.)

Well, I'm ready, to drop, well, I'm ready

I'm ready so don't stop, oh

Well, keep pushing, I'm ready to fall

Well, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't call

I'm ready so don't call, oh... oh... oh...
