I've had more than enough
As I shoot from the cuff
Hitting my foot every time

You'd think I would learn
As soon as shots are heard
To get out of the line of fire

What seems to be my fate
Either early or late
Never am I on time

As many comes as there are goes
You'd think by now I'd know
Where life and love intertwine

But I seriously doubt
I'll ever see inside that box
As I only know what's up
With the downside of love

Is it the fact I'm a man
And can't stick with a plan
Taking time to follow the signs

To see if they lead
To a heart that's in need
One I can share with mine

If I take a deep breath
Let out the one that I've kept
Packed tight in my lungs all this time

No telling where it might lead
Could be that single heartbeat
I have been hoping to find

But I seriously doubt
I'll ever see inside that box
As I only know what's up
With the downside of love
