[Distant:] I'm not in love

One song about a girl
I can't breathe when I'm around her
I'll wait here everyday
In case she'll scratch the surface
She'll never notice

Case is closed, you're back into focus.
The jury's out, you're closing in.
This battle of mind over matter's spent.
This scar. This scar is not permanent.
Choices of chances, or what sinks in water.
Your secret's out, what you held within.
You've found your plague, your cancer, stop.
I bet you've got something clever.

So listen up. (So listen up)
I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives.
For just this once. (For just this once)
I'll take my chances at truck stops and state lines.

Go ahead and tell them again.
Well I think that I know that they won't remember
Go out and tell them twice.

So listen up. (So listen up)
I worked in daylight feeding fashion to housewives.
For just this once. (For just this once)
I'll take my chances at truck stops and state lines.

Go ahead and tell them again.
Well I think that I know that they won't remember
Go out and tell them twice.

Attention! Attention!
May I have all your eyes and ears to the front of the room,
if only, if only for one second.

This table has taken a turn for the worst.
Rock bottom and over the edge
well it's not like it hurts that much anyway.
Upside down and inside out.

Staring at the mirror through your hair
You can’t see everything that you did to me
With your automatic eyes
Five years disappeared
FIve years disappeared that night

Do you want me to stay
Do you want me to go?

Some people have it
And other people dont
Youve been making some threats
Got my name and address
Im breaking habits
You dont want to know
Though Im wearing my clothes
Feeling cold and exposed

So there you are, and here I stand,

As far as I remember you weren't half bad.

Your bedroom behavior was never more than checkmarks on bedposts.

For I remember we never had.

Do you think you’re up for this?
Are you ready to get undressed,
undressed in your evening best besides,
every heart is like a house on fire with escape
routes in every room.
These are the trials of our youth.

But this charade is never going to last

Hey, stop on a dime.
Take both your hands,
reach them above, one at a time.
Are you alone in here?
I heard the voice so clearly.

I tried not to breathe.
Tried not to speak.

Forever alone until I found you,
and now you’re always there;
voice on the air, scent on my clothes.
Oh, but when the sun exposes all my demons,
will you stay or run away?

I’ll help you find your way
every moment you’re awake.

Forced to the wall,
the crosshairs shift from this tied down burden: Courage.
What did you expect?
A nightmare of reason and faith alike.
Because you take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless.
You think you're saving face
But I'll tell you what (I‘ll tell you what)

Take, take these words in.
Take them like you did that foreign excitement.
You bleed lust. Choke. So was it worth it?
Did you get what you wanted, the silent type.
Did you even come close, did they let you taste it? I can see how the rush, and the heat, and the touch of a stranger gets you going.
You're feeling selfish, you've got the urge.
Don't bother keeping your heavy breathing down for the one who can't hear you scream.

I took a step back as the room was filling up
I was packed against some people who were tossing up a strong vibe
Now the door's locked
And the shower's on
And I realize I don't recognize anyone
But I don't mind
Well the neighbors have complained damn near every night
The neighbors have complained damn near every night

Please stand by, we've come so far
Four years, we survived the ride that turned us inside out
Repeat after me, just scream and shout
"It was the best of times from broken homes and battle scars
to where we are."

Graduate, paper chase,
We'll get out of this place

Pour yourself a drink girl, then make one for me.
We haven't even met yet, and I'm already sure that we won't.
..and I'm right back where I started.
The air in here is shaking every single nerve.
I'm trying hard to let go, but my heart, it won't let me love you.
..and I'm right back where I started. Right back...
Moving on up. We're walking on the edge.
Everyone here has demons in their past

I walked you home most days
To beat the traffic after class
With all my best intentions.
But when the weather changed,
Like fine print, you were hard to read.
Blind-folded, eyes wide open,
Staring through me.

Wake up, think fast, three weeks have passed.
We are changing. No sleep, no gas, no excuses will pass these lips
Cause we're shapin' up to be all you wish you could have been
To write the hits and to turn their heads
And to open eyes (open your eyes) to a brand new season,
A brand new season.

So show me something we haven't heard yet,

Don't be so scared,
We will not lead you on like you've been doing for weeks.
So you're selfish, and I'm sorry.
When I'm gone you'll be going nowhere fast.
Nowhere fast. Nowhere fast.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you?
'Cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me.

Don't call, don't write, don't speak my name
Though we've tried this twice
I'm just another face
Even when you're running out of luck
You think we'll get it right this time
Get it right, all right, all right, all right

Run, in another five months you'll be alone

Wake up, try on your new disguise,
Would they recognize you anyway?
Would they?
Dead leaves lie down beneath your feet
As you step into the street and
Notice the distance between the hearts and homes

But still you know it's alright.

The search has begun, this is page one.
Man, meet your maker, I give you The Author.
He may seem familiar because he looks like your mirror.
You've lied like a lawyer, but don't deny it when you're face to face
with demons dancing off mirror images reflecting all that you wanted.
So far from perfect, onward we will strive.
Take it for what it's worth, this truth that you've realized.
You're not who you thought you were, it's time to see the other side of what you have become.

Lies are lies in everybody’s eyes
and I don’t believe you

When the summer is gone
It won’t be long
‘til someone’s got the fever creeping inside

When the city is moving and your eyes they are a moving and you just can't fight that feeling but you said it's the last time.

My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is.
Am I gonna die?

So the season's changed your face,
toasted skin turned darker shades
so as to better disguise your figure from the streetlights.

First floor window opened up
as you tip-toe on the back porch,
to meet the new girl on the corner,
Make your big plans for the summer.

I'm not impressed, the slightest bit
By anything that you said
Rinse and repeat your opinion of me
And all of my off-beat friends
While we'll be making plans
You'll be too cool to clash between these lines

September nights, we've come so far

Dont try and tell me youve been looking at me
Cause Ive been looking at you
And I can read what you think, yeah
Dont cut no corners when youre talking to me
Like I dont know how it is
But I can see it

Youve got no answers but youve got your concerns

(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)

I've got that lefty curse
where everything I do is flipped
and awkwardly reversed

You Might Have Noticed

If youre under the impression Im all right
I guess you never noticed
I guess you might have known
Ive been holding this together for so long
But I guess you might have noticed
Well I guess you...
