I’d like to say your fear is unwarranted
You take it someplace else and I’ll never know
You make the face that leads me on
You sing the song of fear and lithium

And I see your love’s been blind but I know your eyes are fine
These words are in my mind, It wasn’t very long ago that your love was worth so much more than mine

Times are changing even so
It’s possible I’ll never know
What nurtures love and makes it grow
I give in

Kick me up and keep me down
Treat me like your circus clown
I’d like to think that you won’t let me down again

And if these memories start to fade I’ll start to worry about my faith
Understand all this pain is bound to fade

Saddest songs that we know are about love that didn’t work out
I’m not trying to write a song like that
On a seesaw the honesty that I saw in you
Well you know I changed my mind I tried
A thousand times

But you stayed with me
And you stayed and you waited
Now I will wait for you
I will wait for you

Did you wait while I run in my ways
I loved whoever I found
I learned to love on my own
When we play these telephone games I wish you could look in my eye
Hold the line no more wasting time

I can’t remember the dirty things you said
Lonely tonight and your voice is in my head
I need a reason the reason things went wrong
Winter storms in the fall and I’m all alone

There are reasons that
you let it slip away
There are reasons that you know

Well I realize I’m not alone when I wake up with you
The lonely girls of Summerland they will stay out too late
I realize I’m not alone when I wake up with you
The lonely girls of Summerland they will stay out

I had a crush on a girl at seventeen
Lonely tonight and her voice is what I need
Klaus and the rooster these lunatics at bay
Winter storms in the fall will push these freaks away

Don’t let another slip away
don’t let another slip away
Holy roller
You’ve got to live as though the winter’s far away

Tell me I’m the one to suffer that way
Leaving me alone well I can’t explain
Never was I one to feel it that way
I suffer the same I feel the same way

And if it ever ends I’ll know it’s a lie
Promise to my soul what I can’t deny
Is it alright if I feel it that way
I suffer the same I feel the same way

Please let me in
please let me in
I heard your lie and I saw your sin
Please let me in

I’ve been waiting so long for your call
I’ve been waiting so long for your call

Promise me again you’ll never live that way
Leaving me alone well I can’t explain
Is it alright if I feel it that way
I suffer the same I feel the same way

Playing your records smash guitars when nobody’s watching
Your office companion orchestrates her hair
Every musician is subject to false accusations
While every pre-teen is staring at her chest

We all need to fly we all laugh and cry
But we would never at work

Well I realize the office days go late
Hurry up and throw your job away
I realize the office days go late
So hurry up and throw your job away

I made a concoction of espresso and Guinness
And nobody thought I realized my plight
Showing potential every day I’m supposed to be working

How can I convince you that I’m not a liar?
How can I?
I have only one life to lead
How can I tell you that you’ll be running wild?
How can I convince you that now I’m not a liar
You’ll be running wild have anything you want
You be running wild if you tell ‘em that you quit
Tell ‘em that you quit

This is the making of the film
This is the making of the film
You’ve got to cut that scene right out
Before it all becomes true

I was pretending not to see
All these deleted scenes
The joke was on me
It all became true

We are helpless when we have the truth
Voices shaking will not soothe
We are helpless when we know the truth

Witness the screening of the film
You better cut that scene right out
Before it all becomes true
You’ve got to cut that scene out now
Before it all becomes true
