And all the sky is turning blue
If I could only get past you
Then I would know what we've got
Maybe see where we live
If I could only rearrange
Make soldier plans, and try to change
Then I might feel like your hero
Coming home from war
And I might understand
How I ended up a man

Darling please forgive me
I was sitting on the fence
I was slowly going out of my head
I did not hear a word that you said
I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed

If I could take your blows, if I could get pass go,
If I could find a way of fixing all the things that I broke
Then I would, if I could
And I might understand how I ended up a man
And I might understand how I ended up a man

But the truth is hard to find
When it's playing tricks with your mind
Darling please forgive me
I was hanging with my friends
I was slowly getting out of my head
I did not hear a word that you said

I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed
I was enjoying myself sleeping in your flowerbed
