"Cannonball" - Damien Rice


A single minute to midnight.
To get even. Even-steven.
Get a box. A good-sized box.
And put the following things in it:

My journal.
Mama's t-shirt.
My DVDs.
A Rascal Flatt's concert ticket.
A fitted gray Lakers t-shirt.
A box of See's blueberry truffles.
A spa-getaway package.
A trip to Solvang.
Strangers in Paradise Volumes 4, 5, etc.
A bouquet of tulips.
A brand new "All About Me" book.
A finished scrapbook.
Two precious little ones.
Consideration.
Appreciation.
My house.
My heart.
My sleep.
All the promises you were supposed to keep.

That'd be even. That'd be about square.

Lyrics:

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost you witness
Still a little BIT of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer EACH DAY
That I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer TO ME
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't WANNA scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
