The Next 20 Minutes Lyrics

If we're gonna have it out, let's have it out.
You always said you were sure, I had every doubt.
If you need to talk for a little while,
I'll be here, but I'd be lying with a smile.

And now someone else has taken off
the clothes that someone else is taking off
the clothes that you once bought me.
It's sad 'cause your love is like a bus.
I may miss you, but I know more will come.

I know I said I never lied
But there are a few things I just had to hide
This will hurt, a point that I must stress
Because the next 20 minutes, girl, surely won't be my best

I hate to say that alcohol saved my career
but if she didn't drink so much, then I wouldn't be here.
And my patience is a wicked thing,
I've out-waited wedding rings.

I know I said I never lied
But there are a few things I just had to hide
This will hurt, a point that I must stress
Because the next 20 minutes, love, surely won't be my best

What if I never get things right
And always lust after the the things that I can't have?
What if I never see the point
Of it
Of it
Of it
Of it
Of it
Of it
Of it
Of it

I know I said I never lied
But there are a few things I just had to hide
This will hurt, a point that I must stress
Because the next 20 minutes, girl, surely won't be my best

I have no idea about the "wedding rings" line. We'll see when the official lyrics come out.

"My patience is a wicked thing, I've out-waited wedding rings"

There's more words in there than that.

i hear "My patience is a wicked thing, I've out-waited wedding rings. ohh, no." so i'm not sure where you're getting more words from.

It was a little choppier in the unmastered version...

it's a tiny thing, but i'm pretty sure it's "I know I said I never lied." instead of "i'd never lie"

Lyric Correction

true... once again another thing that was not as clear in the unmastered version.

another tiny thing, but at the end of the bridge after he says "what if i never see the point" he chants "of it" several times. (what if i never see the point of it?)
