John Mayer - Assassin Lyrics

I work in the dead of night
When the roads are quiet
And no one is around
To track my moves

Race in the end of lights
To find the gate is open
She's waiting in the room
I just slip on through

PRE-CHORUS
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?

PRE-CHORUS
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

CHORUS
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'd done,
And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me

I'm gone

CHORUS
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
