lay down and rest,

Like my finger resting on the trigger. Oops, my finger slipped, Like your love when it slipped away from me… Oops, I tripped. I was just running to catch your love, And besides… I didn’t know it had fallen so far down. Oops, I went too deep. Looks like I was carried away in the moment, Like when my love got carried away, And went too deep for you. Oops, I forgot to breathe. Look what you do to me… You take my mind off the important things, And I get careless. Oops, I tripped again. But this time I won’t fall very far, Because I’m at the end of my rope, As well as the end of the rope of your love. Oops, I was distracted, And I took too much. Looks like too much of a good thing can kill you. But apparently… So can too little.
