Slow Buildings Nice Guys Finish First lyrics

I saw into the future
Just the other night
A man felt free to be kind
Sensitive or even contrite
Crying at a movie?
It wouldn't garner stares
And writing in a diary
Surely would be normal
It shows we care

If you'll go won't you go today
Cause there's no way
I'd ever, ever want to
Throw precious hearts away
There's no way
I'd ever, ever want to go

I'll be the voice of reason
And stay calm in a fight
Learn a foreign language
Just to read to you at night
I'll help you with your homework
Send out all your bills
Make an extra trip just to see you
I've got mad relationship skills


And I always treat you kindly
Though your love's a bitter song
And working on your Blackberry
All day and all night is just wrong
And if you think it's nice now
Wait ‘til I get you home
I'll bake you brownies and we'll trip all night
Because I want to know
But you want to go
I think you want to go

I saw into the future
Just the other night
A man felt free to be kind
Sensitive or even contrite
And when I looked around me
No one gave a damn
You could be the one to tell me
I've got life
I'm living like ham
