Because It Works

by Adam Lazzara

on I Surrender Records Presents: Our Voices (2013)

Well I'm sore. Everything we do is unresolved
So I'm holding my breath, and I'm making good friends with the pull-out couch
Till I can't sleep at all and survey says we draw oh, how embarrassing

Los Angeles is waking up, as I drain this bottle into a cup
I figure, why try to fight it if I can't seem to help it? (Oh)

Tomorrow I'll be payin' double for tonight, [alright (x3)]
Yeah, just because it works, honey, that don't make it right

If you, if you ever think back what's the first thing on your mind:
Well am I horrible still, after all of these years?
The clocks gotta turn wrapped around these years (yeah honey) I can't help but feel that:
If I could re-track that omnipotence I lacked
I'd tell you less of what you want to hear, and more of what you wish you never knew

Tomorrow I'll be payin' double for tonight, [alright (x3)]
Yeah, just because it works, honey, that don't make it right
That don't make it right

Am I horrible still, after all of these years? (x2)
I've got my head wrapped around my heels (yeah honey) and I can't help but feel

Tomorrow I'll be payin' double for tonight, alright
And just because it works, honey, that don't make it right

Tomorrow I'll be payin' double for tonight, [alright (x3)]
Yeah, just because it works (x3)
Honey, that don't make it right
