Temporary Lapse Songtext
von Carsie Blanton

She said, "no, it isn′t feasible
No, you must be teasing
So long we'd been together then
Season after season!
How could you go and snap him up
As soon as I release him?
I know I didn′t talk it
But I'd just begun to leave him

"Well, I hope you had a good time!
I hope that it was pleasing!
You must've had an alibi
There must′ve been a reason
How could you both betray me?
Where do I begin believing?
The only ones I trusted
And you just committed treason."

It was a temporary lapse of reason!
A temporary lapse of reason!


I said, "you know, we weren′t attracted
We were just intoxicated
Vodka and stupidity
They seem to be related
You say that I betrayed you
But it's not that complicated!
It′s not that I was evil
I was just inebriated

"And you were crazy for your new boy
Totally elated
I guess I just assumed that meant
Your other love had faded
I guess I should've known
But I had not anticipated
That my irrationality
Would leave you devastated."

It was a temporary lapse of reason!
A temporary lapse of reason!

Well, time ran its course and as it will
Perspective followed time
And with perspective′s soothing chill
Forgiveness followed close behind
Cause love and reason share one trait
I've recently discovered
Both may fail and fluctuate
But won′t fail to recover


It was a temporary lapse of reason!
A temporary lapse of reason!
