She’s making me put on my pants
And go out to check the mail
Without her guiding love
I’m sure that I would fail
I still break down every now and then
When I think about the things I did
Every word was laced with venom
Every told you so
Another win
That’s the oat of life
Great mystery and all that
Why do we pretend to be so full of love
When we’re all so full of crap
(X2)
She’s making me feel guilty again
As if I don’t have enough on my plate
I can’t be in two places at once
She wants all my time and all the space
Disappearances happen everyday
When skies are blue and clouds are grey
I already think the bad news is on the way
So hurry hurry and wish me away
That’s the oat of life
Great mystery and all that
Why do we pretend to be so full of love
When we’re all so full of crap
(X2)
Disappearances happen everyday
Disappearances happen every day
So hurry hurry and wish me away
I know you want to wish me away
Disappearances happen everyday
Disappearances happen everyday
So hurry hurry hurry
And wish me away
she's makin me put on my pants again
and go out to check the mail
without her guiding love
i'm sure that i would fail
and i still break down every now and then
when i think about things i did
every word that was so laced with venom
every told-you-so that i did bid
but that's the oat of life
great mystery and all that
why do we pretend to be so full of love
when we're all so full of crap
she's makin me act crazy again
as if i need a reason to do that
every stubborn react, as a matter of fact
is coming from me and my lack of tact and
disappearances happen every day
disappearances happen every day
i always feel the ghosting is on the way
so hurry hurry and wish me away
but that's the oat of life
great mystery and all that
why do we pretend to be so full of love
when we're all so full of crap
disappearances happen every day
disappearances happen every day
so hurry hurry and whisk me away
i know you want to wish me away
and disappearances happen every day
disappearances happen every day
so hurry hurry and whisk me away
so hurry hurry and wish me away
about
So my friend Otto sent this acoustic song he wrote over to a group chat we are in.
I have been wanting to produce a song for Otto for a while.
I asked him to send me the chords and lyrics for this song.
I got to work right away and was using my own vocals to keep track of things. I ended up liking the song a lot and decided to just have my own version.
Otto then started to work on his own production of this song.
Mine is track 1 and his is track 2. We both sing on our own versions.
I changed lyrics in the second verse and a couple other words in the song, so both versions have some lyrical differences.
Hope you enjoy.
