Don’t bend down in front of me   It’s more than I can take   Don’t brush the hair out of your face   It’s more than I can take      Here’s to absent friends   Who might never meet again   Here’s to you and I and everything      Try your best not to smile at me   It’s more than I can take   Or stand in close proximity   It’s more than I can take      I had my life straight   Before you came      And now I fail to sleep through the night   I fail to sleep through the night   I can’t learn anything from everything that’s happening      So don’t give me things you once held   Expect me still to breathe   Don’t go and get your hair cut nice   And show it off to me      Here’s to absent friends   Who will never meet again   Here’s to you and I and everything      They’ll hold a wake in the blasted night   For the names of you and I   Wide awake in the middle of the night   For you and I      And now I fail to sleep through the night   I fail to sleep through the night   I can’t learn anything from everything that’s happening      It’s more than I can take.
