Song Lyrics[]

I won't make it, I just won't make it

I tried and tried

Sorry again

Set the alarm clock, even made a door knock

Oh so hard

Cottonball ears

Sorry again

Oh, I could be (Oh, I could be)

Like big swiz watch (Like a big swiz watch)

Yeah, that would be (Yeah, that would be)

Just what I'm not, oh no, no, no, no

Won't you say that you've my heart and say I've forgiven

I've tried and tried

Messed it up, yeah

Sorry again

(Instrumental break)

Telephone rings at a quarter to eleven

I'm gonna long gone

On a train out west

Sorry again

Oh, I could read (Oh, I could read)

Every hour every day (Every hour every day)

But that wouldn't be (That wouldn't be)

This man's way

Did I tell you that I set the alarm clock, even made a door knock

Oh so hard

Cottonball ears

Sorry again

Missed it again

Sorry again

I'm on a train out west

And it should be heading south
