When In Rome 

Written in October 1999 in Nashville, Tennessee

We could be worse
Celebration is a curse
Everything seems so rehearsed
Leave my name at the door if you get there first
We’re all ashamed of something
But I don’t know if we know it

Tap your foot in time
We’ll do our best to make the rest of this rhyme
You know you’re never too far behind
As a matter of fact, girl, you’re right in time

We’re all ashamed of something
But I don’t know if we know it
We’ve all been aiming for something
But we don’t know where to throw it

I find myself in times of trouble
I find myself alone
If you find yourself with the same trouble
Hey girl, when in Rome

It’s up to you
To believe what you to believe is true
You can do the waltz or the boogaloo
If you’re the walrus, well coo coo ca choo

We’re all ashamed of something
But I don’t know if we know it
We’ve all been aiming for something
But we don’t know where to throw it

I find myself in times of trouble
I find myself alone
If you find yourself with the same trouble
Hey girl, when in Rome

We could be worse
Celebration is a curse
Everything seems so rehearsed
Leave my name at the door if you get there first
Could you leave my name at the door if you get there first?
Leave my name at the door if you get there first

That’s if you get there first.
