It must have been several thousands of times.
That means you’ve at least heard it several hundreds of times.
We’ve been making see-saws for awhile.
And we’ll be splitting our things up for awhile.
If I slip up I’m sure you’ll point it out.
Sometimes I shouldn’t be so reaction-based,
it takes all the fun out of wasting our time.
I might pretend that I know what’s missing when we talk all the time we should never shout.
And if I slip up I’m sure you’ll point it out.
Yet you sit unconscious on the telephone.

IN YOUR LIFETIME:

I’m in love with a dead girl, you don’t understand.
She won’t ever leave me again.
Sometimes we’re walking, she holds my hand
I think that she knows who I am.

Every dull moment she whispers to me
Things I could never believe.
I give myself injuries when you’re not around.
I’m sure that you’ve heard that before
In your lifetime.

I yell at myself over ten times a day
She asks if I’m feeling OK.
Sometimes we’re talking, I’m looking away
She sits there with nothing to say.

Every dull moment she whispers to me
Things I could never believe
I give myself injuries when you come around
I’m sure that you’ve heard that before
In your lifetime.

I DON’T THINK:

Sitting on a clock I think I
nearly tripped on cobwebs spinning
at the time I barely thought of you.
You said we’d talk forever but I don’t think we will.
Show me I’m wrong.
I’ve been pushed and pummeled baby
I thank god that I forget
the things I want to tell you and things I never knew.
You said we’d laugh forever but I don’t think we will.
Show me I’m wrong.
Please don’t comfort I won’t be there.
I cannot express why I can’t talk about the things that concern you.
You said we’d cry forever but I don’t think we will.
Show me I’m wrong.

ONLY REMARKABLE:

You’re used to hearing about humble beginnings
And easy estates and fallen awake.
Sometimes it takes us awhile.
And all that you said goes in circles.

You’re used to spending your time not pretending
You get so upset, but you won’t admit.
Sometimes it takes a surprise
And god is the answer you cling
to when everything fails.

Only remarkable people convince you of nothing
You’re better off digging your own grave.
Who would alert you of lightning and pain
If you’d disappear, I’ll be pushing that evil again.

(Repeat)

DIZZY:

Are you dizzy?
Are you dizzy?
Are you hanging around with somebody…
Who’s not me?
Can he at least look something like me?
Or can’t you be fooling around?
Are you dizzy, you’re shaking, I’m not sure that we’ll make it.
I know that you’d see it the same if it happened
To you I repent
Again and again I do.
Please at least think fondly of me.
Are you honestly in love with me?
Lord can’t you be fooling around with me.

WILL IT HURTS:

Once again I’ve been carried off against my will
It hurts to think that you’re returning all my calls.
I know I’ll return late tonight and call your phone so I feel alright.
That’s if you’re answering at all.
Why’s that kid complaining?
All his bellyaching its hard communicating
With a sock shoved in your mouth.
I know I’ll return late tonight and call your phone so I feel alright
That’s if you’re answering at all.

Each time around-waiting for each others dance ‘til then we sing
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

SON SO:

The itch in my heart always lets me down
I hope in your life you feel alive.
And please don’t pretend it’s hard not to lie
There’s no one here willing to fight.
I get pissed at my pillows, and I frighten my son, so how can I pretend I’m right
The itch in my heart talks shit and starts rumors that I’m falling apart.
But I’m not.

TO THE SKY:

The ease of owning up. I’ll be breaking all your hearts.
I probably shouldn’t sulk. For days now she’s been beating herself up.
Help me please I’m gathering myself.
And I’m just hopeless enough and I’ve run out of luck and I cant be everything all the time.
It’s a shame this may sting us you’ve really been mean to us, embarrassing all the time.
Stockpiling our money you look kind of funny.
In hindsight, I might be hanging my life out to dry
All the lies that I told you, you shouldn’t believe me at all now,
On your knees with your hands to the sky crying out.
All the lies that I told you, you shouldn’t believe me at all.

IN A CAR:

Don’t say nothing, I don’t suppose you would take me back.
Cause I don’t live too far. In a car I would pay you back.
With my insides torn out, I walk a fine line, but that line is mine.
All day you list off all the things you can’t stand about us.
But you’re gonna be sorry. This might just feel real.

And if we get stuck, would you tell us a lie.
You can’t stay this time, It’s true that I can’t ever seem to
Shut the fuck up.
But you’re gonna be sorry, this might just feel real.

ME MY LOVE:
Insects crawl out of things that fall
It’s not easy to hold this thing down.
My heavy-foot stepping has woken you again.
When it’s sunny I feel so sorry I cannot pretend that
I’m suffering when it’s your heart that I hear beating.
Well it’s me my love that’s pulling the plug.

HALF AN HOUR:

Baby I think you’ve been extra good to me.
A half an hour is all the time I need.
Baby I’ve been selling books on how to read.
It’s not impossible, it happens to be everything.
I noticed things I’d wish I’d never seen.
You keep telling me I’m fascinating.
But that’s not what you mean, it can’t be.

Baby I’m not trying to sell you anything,
But I need your full attention, won’t you give it to me.
I’ve been things I wish I’d never been.
And after my luck’s run out, I think I’ll get the hang of things.

I’m in hell but I’ll always love you.
I’d make a mess of my senseless life without you.
