Maybe Next Time

from Collection No. 1 by Dean Batten

lyrics

Maybe next time, I'll do it
Maybe next time, I'll jump
Won't look at the stars or passing cars
Just look at the ground

All of these people
Are smiling for me
Gonna look at the ground
And try not to drown
Don't stare at her teeth

'Cause she is the wolf
And I am the sheep
Fresh-sheered and naked
Who can't make a peep
But I can take the leap

I know, I know that I'll hurt her
I can't help with that
Commit emotional murder
It's what I do; that's a fact
When I feel like not-feeling
I just turn tail and run
To be on the receiving end of numbness really can't be much fun

Maybe next time, I'll do it
Maybe I'll take the plunge
And ask some nice lady to join me for lunch
I hope I don't
I hope I don't

Maybe next time, I'll do it
Maybe next time, I'll jump
"Dancing with the Stars," will be on in the bar
When they lay me in the ground
