I know I wasn't made to play on a team you weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink I know that crime doesn't pay but I don't know any other way
the way that she smiles me down she claims to be clowning I finally long for someone teaspoon
two can just bleed into one but only one does the bleeding she calls me the alphabet gun teaspoon
I know I wasn't made to play on a team you weighed your suitcase down but it still wouldn't sink I know that crime doesn't pay but I don't know any other way

Did you say what you wanted said? And now you're just putting the days to bed young actors want to play and play and you'll play, but you're working
call applicants and stole cornering them we're all waiting for the big day if you feel crazy that you're still crazy it hasn't happened for a few days well just wait
in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here you keep scratching at the old paint but the wood is still there and the room is still there
if you're trying to feel the wind well that's a window you're pressed against
you never told me your secrets so I guess they stayed safe with me tall orders from such small shoulders and invitations on blue paper
but I'm bailing water and bailing water 'cause I like the shape of the boat you asked me and I told you and you asked me and I told you and I told you
in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here you keep scratching at the old paint but the wood is still there and the room is still there
if you're my anchor then I'm throwing you over the side before I have the time to say I never wanted anyone this way but I'm smoking cigarettes when no one else does and if I hold you now will I be holding a snowball when the season changes and I'm craving the sun?
Are you still training for the big race by hoping the runners will die? Churning the words of your disgrace but it's how you are when you're down that counts
and you know we're a good thing it's been a long time since you said put down your camera and let me ask you is this new move just to keep moving?
in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here you keep scratching at the old paint but the wood is still there and the room is still there
if I kiss you now like sun streaming in a tavern's door would you wonder what I'm kissing you for?
She loves the singer, every song can bring her close to tears but when she talks about his band it just confirms her mother's fears a little crush on the singer but in her heart she knows it's true everything is different when he's singing right to you
her mother says honest, it's alright to be a singer but don't you love a singer whatever you do
let the crowd press on the stage and let the lights wash out their eyes sixteen years ago I was completely mesmerized and then the night was done and the singer disappeared behind the stage and the roadies came and picked me out from on the barricade
Honest, it's alright to be a singer but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do
I wouldn't change for a moment my life or my ideals but once I loved a singer and I know just how you feel for him to say so plainly what your heart can vouch is true means something is connecting you, something is connecting you
Honest, it's alright to be a singer but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do don't you love a singer don't you love a singer
Tower likes to fall and cream likes to spoil everything living tries to get back to the soil and what seems right and what's made for you false prophecy doesn't mean prophecies are true
the ground is so proud just to hold us up we're a kiss away from being dangerous kiss me and show me that it's true you're depressed about a thing you don't really want to do
don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground
AutoCAD architects with GPS staple-gun carpenters building a 3D mess we protest, but it doesn't work again your magic beans mean at least you'll have one giant friend
the ground is so proud just to hold us up we're a kiss away from being dangerous kiss me and show me that it's true you're depressed about a thing you don't really want to do
don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground don't try to write your name in the clouds from the ground
I don't know why I bring you around When you, you start out so dry And then decide to be quiet Like an angry shout
When you consider yourself And you do consider yourself Well, give me something that you like If there's something you're so proud about
You're in love with someone You're gonna love till it's done You're in love with someone you don't like
You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife
Now tell me, is your high horse Getting a little hard to ride? And your little bit on the side Gettin' harder to find?
When you get restless at night But it's too late to start And there's nothing left to eat in this house but your heart
You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife
I don't know why I bring you around Just to dis the art and look the part But there's a bit you're leaving out And you keep it all to yourself
But it's not the wine that brings a crowd And the crowd is not much help But you see the clouds and put your signal out And then count the notches on your belt
You're in love with someone You're gonna love till it's done You're in love with someone you don't like
You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife (Should have been a rich wife) You should have been a rich wife
Student, why do you dream of me When you dream of your acre of trees? It was agreed I came to burn leaves It's all I ever claimed to do A ploughman I'll never grow into
My arms miss you My hands miss you The stars sing, I've got their song in my head
Blue in the broad light of day Your claws are snagged on my face Say it, I wish we would make it And I wish that I could take it When you turn on me
My arms miss you My hands miss you The stars sing, I've got their song in my head Oh, I don't want my words twisted I don't want you to listen too closely Or wait for me impatiently And I hope I can keep seeing you As long as you don't say you're falling in love
Crave translates into slave No one can harness the rain And I can make myself into rain You feel me on your cheek And on your sleeve
My arms miss you My hands miss you The stars sing, I've got their song in my head Oh, I don't want my words twisted I don't want you to listen too closely Or wait for me impatiently And I hope I can keep seeing you As long as you don't say you're falling in love
And I can feel you're about to forget Yes, I can feel you're about to forget
