lyrics
I'm playing keep-away
from promises I made to another girl just before I met you
Alayna, I can learn to love you baby
Maybe I could learn to love.
I can't find the words to say to you
Monsters in my brain tell me what to say or do
Should I disconnect the telephone?
Or drive to Mexico and buy a couple of bottles
instead of talking to you?
You were right, and I was such a fool.
Who broke down in your arms like a child would do in school.
Cuz I was busy booking shows for my band
instead of sleeping next to you and buying roses on special days.
I'm playing keep-away
from promises I made to another girl just before I met you
Alayna, I can learn to love you baby
Maybe I could learn to love.
Alayna, I can learn to love you baby
Maybe I could learn to love.
Like a science-fiction movie where endings make no sense
How did we get lost in space and marooned on "Planet-X?"
There was a band playing "Celebration" in a dungeon in my head
but the party was over before it started,
cuz the band broke up on stage
The band broke up on stage.
I could find the words to say to you.
I'm playing keep-away
from promises I made to another girl just before I met you
Alayna, I can learn to love you baby
Maybe I could learn to love.
Alayna, I can learn to love you baby
Maybe I could learn to love.
Maybe I could learn to love
I could learn to love (playing keep-away)
I could learn to love (playing keep-away)
The band broke up on stage
The band broke up on stage
The band broke up on stage
The band broke up on stage.
bah-bah-bah-bah
