there's a whole night ahead of me but there's nothing to do

so i entertain the audience that's in my brain

i was running so late for my thought train today

 

i'm in pain that i wish for you to face

if you'd take my place

 

cuz i'm the loser in your eyes

i'm a loser every time

i ever fell short of what you said you thought i was worth

i'm a catcher in the rye

and i'm the loser every time

so i guess i'll quit trying to try

 

her ambiguous eyes catch the light

and glisten like fake diamonds in the rough-cut look-alike

disappointment magnified

through reflections in your eyes of me

i wish a light wasn't shining on me

showing the way i display all this pain that i'm feeling

i'd turn back all the hands of my life

to make a better beginning

 

i'm beginning to be sick of my own face

can you take my place
