Assassin

Album: John Mayer Durasi: 5:15

I work in the dead of night

When the roads are quiet

And no one is around

To track my moves

Racing the yellow lights

To find the gate is open

She's waiting in the room

I just slip on through

You get in, you get done

And then you get gone

You never leave a trace

Or show your face, you get gone

Should have turned around

And left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

Enter the morning light

To find the day is burning

The curtains and the wine

In a little white room

No, I'm not alone

Her head is heavy on me

She's sleeping like a child

What could I do?

You get in, you get done

And then you get gone

You never leave a trace

Or show your face, you get gone

Should have turned around

And left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

Suddenly I'm in

Over my head and

I can hardly breathe

Suddenly I'm floating

Over her bed and

I feel everything

Suddenly I know

Exactly what I did

But I cannot move a thing

Suddenly I know

Exactly what I done

And what it's gonna mean to me

Mean to me

I'm gone

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

She's an assassin and

She's an assassin and

She's an assassin and

She's an assassin and she had a job to do
