Despondent, distracted,
You're vicious and romantic;
These are a few of my favorite things.
All of those flavors and
This is what you choose:
Past the blues, past the blues,
And on to somethi...
That look was priceless, don't let me get carried away
I've seen it before, and it still suits you the same
You catch on quick! (You catch on quick!)
The cynics deaf, before they give the same r...
I'll take with me every single luxury when I leave you could
Count on me for that and nothing more
(Count on me for that and nothing more)
The view from this side's not what
The view from this ...
Two sides twist and then collide;
You're calling off the guards (Am I coming?)
I'm coming through. (Am I coming?)
Adulterous conditioned to a spin cycled submission,
You know, sometimes it just...
So this is what we're up against?
So this is what we're up against?
Face it
This is what we're up, up against?
You're waiting
And every minute is a minute away
Face it
This is what we're u...
You've got this new head filled up with smoke
I've got my veins all tangled close
To the jukebox bars you frequent
The safest place to hide
A long night spent with your most obvious weakness
Y...
All our secrets they are tailored trouble
Draped loose now around your hips
Your spotless instincts are valid
We coexist
Got 26 days to work with (got 26 days)
We got 26 days to work with (it ...
And then you said a little more about your dreams,
Like it was my call (my call)
If you would only listen
Bypassed everything and went straight for the neck
(I study)
We study
(up nightly)
D...
You were a medicine cabinet ball.
I came crawling, I came crawling, every night.
Like the rat I am.
Like the rat I am.
Of all the things, things I thought I'd seen.
Sure didn't see that coming...
There's a symphony out past the trees beyond your father's house
The one you grew up in then grew out of
Got yourself to higher ground
You told me you ain't gonna miss it
But you'll never hear ...
We found a house with a yard
And moved all of my things in
And most of your things in
And honey, I was proud of it
And honey, I was proud of you
You quote the Good Book
When it's convenient...
I'm gonna leave the same way I came
Up from the ashes then I'm from the ashes
If our house it stood here on this wood foundation
Then you, you could've fooled me I admit I was a fool for your so...
The nicest man I ever met
Was more malicious than malcontent
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
And wait to strike 'til their backs were turned
And you slither away like the snake that yo...
Dusting off the old life from my catholic knees
I scraped them up good
(Scraped them up good)
I Scraped them up good
You doctored them clean
Oh yes, we are patient, patients
Salt-licked wou...
On a borrowed mattress you were stopping time
I've been watching you, I've been watching you
For hours and hours before you knew
You are the satin noose
I've been saving up to buy
You, you a...
See it's not like I didn't mean what I said
When I said I'll put my money where my mouth is
And I put my money where my mouth was
Until I couldn't breathe through my nose
And now I'm staring at...
Open the gate to your apartment complex
You're not getting off that easily
I climb the fence, the one that you've been sitting on
(How long) before I'm just a memory?
(How long) before you can'...
Yeah
I played deaf, immersed
In that technicoloured kind of
Black and white type
Counting one to seven through the roof
If my lady only knew how high I am, I am tonight
I crack open the ...
Flower tongue wilts with too much sun
And that's where we've been living for so long
Sending off the western coast
Watch the sun set with your shrinking voice
See I ain't the boy she loves ...
Hey [x6]
Come on,
Tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got so far.
Yeah, tell me that you're better,
and you rather just forget,
that things have got to...
