Cassavetes

Oh tell me please where I've been wrong
And how long before I can go home
And how many nights of drinking can you take?
And how many smiles did you have to fake?
I guess I can't count

Well I was walking down a lonely road
Trying to figure out how I'd gotten lost
But John Cassavetes came and lit my way, he said
Fear is the basis for all of your mistakes

And when you're not scared
You can do nothing wrong
Let's sing a song
Don't forget what you are
Do what you really really want

But you're going down and down again
Trying to figure out who is your friend
And tell me how many lies did you wanna tell?
And how many miles 'till you understand?
I guess you can't count

How many nights of crying can you take?
And how long before your frown has become your face?
And how many years before you take a step?
I know it's hard to recall that there is no fate

And when you're not scared
You can do nothing wrong
Let's sing a song
Don't forget what you are
Do what you really want
Do what you really really want
