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
