Therapy, in my own way.
Through muffled screams and swollen eyes
From lots of pills and alibis
I always find my romance in the emergency room
I remind you of everything you hate
And you remind me I’m the one to blame
I’m fighting myself to get you out of my head
But I’m hanging off of every word you said
Forced heart beat and broken mirrors
Flaws and faults are held so dear
My reflection makes me sick
The pain we feel is nothing new
Prescription drugs and photographs
Love, loneliness, and nervous laughs
What you call misery through anxious eyes
Is something I can’t see
It's something that I can't see
I’m fighting myself to get you out of my head
But I’m hanging off of every word you said
I’m fighting myself to get you out of my head
And I’m screaming loud enough to wake the dead
I’m fighting myself to get you out of my head
But I’m hanging off of every word you said
I spend more time, trying to breathe
I keep my eyes closed
You're too far away from me
You're so far away from me
I spend more time, tracing your face
Wearing away my finger prints
You're so far away
We could stay up forever
No one sleeps 'til my voice finds your ears
Your last kiss was something more like shrapnel
Tearing through me
I spend more time, speaking through wires
Living in circuits, you're so far away
We could stay up forever
No one sleeps til my voice finds your ears
Your last kiss was something more like shrapnel
tearing through me
Not sayin'
I'm not charmed at all
Not sayin'
That you weren't worth
The fall
But I was alone when
I knew it was real
Down the canyon
When I knew I had come
To the line
Through the dawn
To the light
To the turn
When you said
You could drive
All night
Drive all night
So I let crazy
Take a spin
Then I let crazy
Settle in
Kicked off my shoes
Shut reason out
He said, "First, let's just unzip your religion down..."
Found that I
I craved it all
Saw me melt
Into your
Native shelter
Where you carved my
Name
Paper tigers scare
And came
Alive
Through the dawn
To the light
To the turn
When you said
You could drive
All night
Drive all night
So I let crazy
Take a spin
Then I let crazy
Settle in
Kicked off my shoes
Shut reason out
He said, "First, let's just unzip your religion down..."
So I let crazy
Pull me in
Then i let crazy
Take his spin
Kicked off my shoes
Shut reason out
He said, "First, let's just unzip your religion down...
Heard that you were once Temptation's girl."
And as soon
As you have
Rearranged the mess
In your head
He will show up looking
Sane
Perfectly sane
If I know crazy
Strange
Thought I knew you well
Thought I had read the sky
Thought I had read a change
In your eyes
So strange
Woke up to a world
That I am not a part
Except when I can
Play its stranger
After all, what were you really looking for?
And I wonder
When will I learn?
Blue isn't red
Everybody knows this
And I wonder, "When will I learn?
When will I learn?"
Guess I was in
Deeper than I thought I was
If I have enough love
For the both of us
"Just stay," you said, "We'll build a nest."
So I left my life
Tried on your friends
Tried on your opinions
So when the bridges froze
And you did not come home
I put our snowflake
Under a microscope
After all, what was I really looking for?
And I wonder,
"When will I learn?"
Maybe my wish knew better than I did
And I wonder,
"When will I learn?
When will I learn?"
Guess i was in
Deeper than I thought I was
If I have enough love
For the both of us
So strange, now I'm finally here
The party has begun
It's not like I can't feel you still
But strange
What I will leave behind
You call me one more time,
But now I must be leaving
She's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
And her neverborn child haunts her now
As she speeds down the freeway
As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She's oblivious despite herself
Hey..
She looks like Eva Marie-Saint
In "On the Waterfront", she says
All she needs is therapy
All you need is love is all you need
Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey, on account of the rattlesnakes
Hey, on account of the rattlesnakes
She looks like Eva Marie-Saint
In "On the Waterfront",
She reads Simone de Beauvoir
In her American circumstance
Her heart's like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front, she says
"It's so hard to love when love was your great disappointment."
On account of those rattlesnakes
She says a girl needs a gun these days
She says a girl needs a gun these days
Hey, on account of the rattlesnakes
Hey, on account of those rattlesnakes
