Words escape your mouth
Break into my head
“It’s too late for charm,”
That’s what you said, you said

Turns out I suck at this
So stuck inside my own head
I meant you no harm
By what I just said

Should it be like? Should it be love?
Should I hold tight? Should I just push?
Would you be mine? Will you decline?
Did your conclusion just arrive?

The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then

The best laid schemes of mice and men

Dirt clings to my shoes
So far from the trail
It’s too late to turn
That’s why I fail, I fail

Found out I always missed
Stones thrown in the lake
Sink around the shore
I notice too late

Should it be like? Should it be love?
Should I hold tight? Should I just push?
Would you be mine? Will you decline?
Did your conclusion just arrive?

The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then

Discover the trust, covered in rust, maybe you just, ran out of lust?
Look at my hands, missing the plans, look at my hands...

The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then

The best laid schemes of mice and men
Haunt my dreams - never begin
They must come true every now and then

The best laid schemes of mice and men
They must come true in the end
Come true in the end
