lyrics

I can hear that old melody playing
That familiar and saccharine sound
It started with off the cuff comments
That you made when your friends came around
And all I want is one more evening
With you and a bottle of wine
So play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Til the curtain comes down

It’s maudlin and cloying to live through
A story as old as it gets
Full of every cliché that I know of
Same old love mixed with lies and regret
And all I want is something different
Cause tragedies bore me to tears
So play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Til the curtain comes down

I’ve been playing this set far too often
You know every bad joke and sad song
You still smile at all the right places
But I can tell you’re just playing along
And all I want is one more chance
To sweep you right off of your feet
So play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Til the curtain comes down

There’s only so much I can beg for
Til there’s nothing of me left to give
And you’ve made it a point to be civil
So for once it’s on me to forgive
But all I want is one more blowout
With yelling and cursing and tears
So play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Til the curtain comes down

It’s hard to ignore the crescendo
Or that far away look in your eyes
And it’s clear that we’re reaching the end so
Let’s bitterly bid our goodbyes
And all I want is one more verse
I guess a chorus will have to do
So play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
Play me off slowly
As the curtain comes down
