blank page was all the rage never meant to say anything in bed I was half dead tired of dreaming of rest got dressed, drove the state line looking for you at the five and dime stop sign told me stay at home told me you were not alone blank page was all the rage never meant to hurt anyone in bed I was half dead tired of dreaming of rest you haven't changed, you're still the same may you rise as you fall you were easy, you are forgotten you are the ways of my mistakes I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof that you had left behind you remind me of that leak in my soul the rain falls, my friends call leaking rain on the phone take a day, plant some trees may they shade you fromme may your children play beneath blank page was all the rage never meant to say anything in bed I was half dead tired of dreaming of rest got dressed, drove the state line looking for you at the five and dime but there I was picking pieces up you are a ghost of my indecision no more, little girl All songs (c) 1998 Chrysalis Songs/Cinderful Music (BMI)
