take what i say and build a church and i'll just pray that no one else gets hurt, but you don't know me as well as you think you do.
you take my face, endorse your shit, i hope you make a million bucks off it, but you don't know me as well as you think you.
i built a wall for all of y'all to spraypaint on, you're welcome, and i can see you from inside. you're looking good, you're looking like you're having fun. but you don't know me and i guess thats alright.

she said last night she kissed some guy. she was drunk and it meant nothing. she can do whatever she wants, leaving me in her afterthoughts. i do care, but i don't care. here's where i shut off.
i got a lollipop, yeah. i don't give a fuck. i got a lollipop, fuck yeah. i don't give a fuck.
it's a green one. that's my favorite color, yeah.
doctor, he said my health's in the red. bad blood, bad guts, i should really give a fuck. heart disease all in the family. i better clean it up or it's r.i.p. j.b. ta ta. i do care, but here's where i shut off.
chorus
it's a green one... no, it's a fuckin yellow. shit.
take my mind away today, cause life is all a game, okay? i'm feelin good. i'm feelin great. hotbodies comin back 2008, 2009, 2010. every year is a whole new retirement. where was i again?
oh yeah, she says nothing. goddamn. no pick up phone. no "i'm sorry, what's wrong?" she can do whatever she wants. fuck it. i can write a million songs. fuck it. i don't care, but i do care. so play the chorus off now...

you say forever like it's good, and in a way i know that it could be, but it feels like a life sentence to me jailed at arm's length from you. you say forever like a child who never said predicting the future's futile, but if you'd just say "a while" instead i'd smile, nod my head and agree.
i know this timebomb's time's not done, and it could be long long until the fuse becomes ignited. your heart keeps fighting but these sparks could keep flying forever... o pretty warden please, slip me the key. i need clairvoyancy to see what forever means.
three little letters fix a noose that three big words could someday hope to loosen. you said once i really get you. sometimes i feel i met you a forever ago. and even so my head spins round. i stumble through minefields that look like ghost towns where your eloquent subtlety abounds and consistently confounds me.
chorus
with every word that i say, you understand me less. i guess i'm giving you the paint to draw me out as this mess. hold your horses. in time it will make more sense.
i'll wait forever if i must. be the dog at your feet if it holds your trust and i'll try not to be overcome with lust. it's just this heart will never ever rust. forever ever dust to dust.

i'm tired of flirting with girls that aren't you. so baby, save me. claim me. uh huh. i've been in the wild for a while now. domesticate me. save me. claim me. uh huh
i can do it. i can play the part-- lone wolf motherfucker, got no heart. but i don't wanna be alone anymore.
i'm what they say: immature fool, notorious flake. but you're different. so maybe i can be different this time. you say you run from what's good, you run from what's real, but i hope and pray that you can be different this time.
we can do it. we can tear it apart. we can gut the fucking car before the engine starts, but i don't wanna be alone anymore.
and i'll stick with you if you want me to.
we can do it. we can play the part-- act like we're too fucking busy for a broken heart. but i don't wanna be alone anymore. we can do it. we can slay the spark. we can put the motherfucking rollercoaster in park, but i don't wanna be alone anymore. we can do it. we can do it again. we can be so fucking scared that we could just stay friends, but i don't wanna be alone anymore.

always floating, we're always flirting. she makes me feel something, but i can't get the wording right. she's so coded. an explosion awaits but it's always just on the verge. i bite my lip wishing it was hers. i haven't come to expect, i've just come.
my honeybee don't stick around long enough to sting. she's always got somewhere else to be come spring and when it comes you'll find me stumbling out of my cave in time to find my honey flying away.
wave that carrot in my face. don't despair it, i'll finish the race-- for no medal, but i did tell you always. i can't be mad though, i'd be an asshole. the princess is always in the next castle, but i'll still always have my pipe dreams.
come down love, and rest your tired wings. give in love-- oh give everything to me. i'd settle for a piece. please please lord, make her stay in one place.

it starts as time to breath and see where my heads at but i know to retread that trails absurd. it starts as a waiting period, a test to see if the weight can carry itself. you said what you said, but i heard what i heard.
i could be the one to tell you that you're pretty when the makeups rolling down your face and your whole weeks been shitty, but i've tried and i'm done. it's been real and it's been fun but i will be your one that got away.
it starts as penance, like you don't deserve me, and perhaps you don't so i'm afloat. it ends in big regret and misinterpreted intent so i'll retract all statements, cause, y'know, i'm oh so business.
chorus
you get none of me no more. i've tried and i'm done. it's been real and it's been fun but i will be your one that got away. i'll reveal nothing i have to say anymore and i will be the bruise where i know you kick yourself for leaving me up on the shelf when you had me.

she wants me to fight for what i've already got now, but i don't wanna fight. maybe i just wanna cuddle-- the huddle, the touchdown, a pass and a fumble. sometimes i mumble when i'm nervous.
if you put up with my low self esteem, i will play all of your games, and if you wanna catch me... uh catch me when i fall down, that would be cool. i'll ask you again.

if somebody says something about me, it's probably true and if somebody says something to make you doubt me, it's probably better for you.
i'm one of the guys the boys gossip on; the girls get clingy and go toxic on. it don't make sense to me. i won't make sense to you.
if somebody says that they've got me figured out, babe, you should just take their word. they wouldn't open their mouth if they don't know what they're talking about. come on, that would just be absurd.
it don't make sense so you better go toxic on me.

take your time and take all the words from my mouth. cut them into the quickest route south, where we don't gotta talk anymore. you don't have to say a single word. i'm too tired to confront the truth, but your drunk ass seems intent on finding it. the truth is the truth is rather sad: i've settled for malaise, didn't stop off at mad cause i know i can't make you make sense to yourself. and i know you won't let me inside to help. and i know you wish you could make me feel the same love of distance that you do, but everybody's trying. everybody's trying to understand each other.
the way that things stand, we're destined to fall to the same bear traps we've laid out before. i'm comfortable in my solitude. you follow the wind if it suits your mood. but the catch is we really both care and we both could change but you're just scared. i think i'm honest but you want more truth. well the truth is "fuck you, i'm scared too and i know i can't figure you out, you won't let me. you've been saying you've been breaking my heart since you met me." and i know i could really learn to communicate a little better, but everybody's trying. everybody's trying just to be happy.
you're not breaking my heart. nuh uh, no way, never, girl. i predicted the plot twists. i knew we'd fail from the start, but i just hoped it would not be like this.
everybody's trying. everybody's trying just to see each other eye to eye.

I wore my white t-shirt tonight. You can project whatever you like, it's easy. I wore my blank expression. I tore off my discretion, and now I'm bleeding and I'm reading rumors-- it's a scene of tumors. No truth's worth knowing, but, hey, we're growing.
I will be your projection screen. Project on me. Project ennui. I will be your projection screen. Inject in me whatever drugs you think I'm doing.
I wore my silly hat tonight, so when I'm up to bat you might just see me. I wore my paranoia. You whores are scared of boys (boyd?). Decieve me.
And I'm needing a change of scenery. I've grown so big and awkward and this rooms so tiny, teeny.
I will be your projection screen. Project on me. Project ennui. I will be your projection screen. Connect to me whatever sluts you think I'm screwing.

i'm kissing her tonight but it's you in the corner of my eye. maybe you don't even know it, maybe you're afraid to show it, maybe you're afraid to let it grow, but there's something in between-- a loaded air, a velvet screen. maybe i've mistaken kindness, maybe i just hope with blindness. maybe i'm just hopeless for you.
and i haven't even thought about lost in hours so i guess i'm really crushin on you. and i'm getting kinda nervous when i think about the power you hold when i share glances with you. oh darling, i'm sorry. i want you all to myself. fuck the party. i want you all to myself. fuck the party.
we got fucked up tonight and i'm hoping that you get home alright and i hope that you wish me home safe too. i hope that when my thoughts are of you, you're half asleep and sleeptalking my name. i'm waiting outside her place tonight, but i'm writing these words for you under her streetlight. maybe you might never hear them, maybe you will and get weird, but maybe you already feel the same.
hey you-- i'm constantly dreaming of finding the meaning in the cards you've been dealing and the hands you've been playing. i'm praying you're saying the same thing. you can't blame me for falling for you.
i just think you're cool and i want to make you as happy as i get when i catch you laughing at a joke i made that no one caught but you.
