You'd think by now I'd have figured it out  At least just a little bit, but I get turned around  Headed the wrong way down a one way  And I always thought I'd see you again some day  Is your life as hard for you as mine is for me  For your sake I hope you're laughing in the sun  But I don't think I'm the only one waitingfor the sun to shine  And it feels like I'm down to life number nine  You'd think by now I'd have figured it out  At least just a little bit, but when the sun goes down  I see the old familliar places and I can't help looking into the crowd  For your face  Every time I see the sun go down I'm lost and I'm so damn lonely  And I know that I'm down to number nine
