about

based on a true story

lyrics

It comes from out of nowhere, I am shocked but not surprised
Could it be my vindication or a new plot you’ve devised?
I’d say it is unlikely to leave here smelling like a rose
More like the stink of history or battle, I suppose

Should I be protective of my old heart from new harm?
But when you dangle new beginnings, I am bound to bet the farm
Should I accept your invitation? To slip on this banana peel?
Commence negotiations… let’s make a deal

I need to leave the bargain basement, you won’t believe what I’ve been through
It’s surprising me to find, we could find anything that’s new
While I am running out of options, there’s no tricks up my sleeve
I still have a few possessions I never wanted you to leave

We can visit all the landmarks, take some time to clear the air
Sign off on the final details and resume with the affair
I must learn to hold my tongue, before it all becomes too real
Say there’s a limit on the offer? OK honey, let’s make a deal

Still it seems that time hasn’t dimmed the fire
Could it be that I’m the only one you desire?

My so called friends have warned me to leave the past behind
But when if comes to you, I never seem to mind
Is it hopeless or romantic? I can feel the first incision
The small print says no refunds, once you’ve paid the price of omission

I’ve been waiting in the wings, ever since the curtain fell
Still got some self-esteem to burn, soon you’ll hear the closing bell
I’ve been waiting for this call, there’s not much left to steal
Maybe I’m heading for a fall or simply tryin’ to cop a feel
I can be your Monty Hall, baby, you can spin the wheel
Sign upon the dotted line… OK honey, let’s make a deal
