Assassin Lyrics

John Mayer

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
Into 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
And suddenly I know exactly what I did But I cannot move a thing And suddenly I know exactly what I've 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 She's an assassin She's an assassin She's an assassin And she had a job to do
