I'm not gonna' do this again
Not gonna' go out on a limb
This has happened before
Now I can see the signs
I think I'm going to be through
With trying to read into you
This has knocked me off course
It's knocked me out of line
I'd like to think I'd recognize
Something good, even in disguise
So please forgive my fears
I tend to think to much
But I've been hurt, I've been pushed around
Sometimes it's hard to get off the ground
So please be patient
I don't wanna' fuck it up
And I don't wanna' fall to far
Fear it's too late
Don't wanna' fall to hard
I fear I'll break
Don't don't wanna' go too fast
I've put it all at stake
So I don't wanna' fall to hard
Fear it's too late
It's too late
Do you think we'll make it?
(Do you think that we'll make it? Please tell me now.)
Please tell me now, I must know
Get used to disappointment
I'll just go, I'll just go
(Or I'll just go. I don't think that you know. I'll just go.)

A Mess Like You
02:06
|

Just wait and see
You'll get what's coming to you
And just like Porkins
I'll stay on target, it's true
I'm a mess right now, it's true
I'm a mess, yeah just like you
I'm a mess right now, yeah
We'll go back and forth
See who gets in the last word today
And I know you'll win
This one again anyway
I'm a wreck right now it's true
I'm a wreck, yeah just like you
I'm a wreck right now, yeah
I'm a wreck like you, and I'm blaming you now
I'm a mees like you, and I'm blaming you now
I'm a mess like you

Pretty Boys

Hey pretty boys, preceded by all the hype
We're all way too familiar with your type
Sometimes I want what you've got
Sometimes I wanna' get it my own way
Sometimes I want what you've got
Sometimes I've gotta' get it my own way
Hey pretty boys
Are you as good as they say you are?
With daddy's money I guess you'll go real far
I won't buy it
You can't tell me what to like
Someday I'll be there, too
Hey pretty boys
I heard that you're here to save us all

Nothing Charming
04:30
|
|||
I don't like this anymore than you
I'm not saying I can't be alone
Can you?
I'll be honest with you right here and now
I'm not shedding unnecessary tears
This time around
We've done this before, we've done this before
The third time's a charm
Isn't that what they say?
We've done this before, we've done this before
And with each time it slightly dulled the pain
Things were great in the beginning
Yeah, I'll give you that
But you can't rewind a relationship
You can't go back
It's so easy to be optimistic about a sugar-coated memory
Now I've got to break two long year's worth
Of habit and instinct
We've done this before, we've done this before
The third time's a charm
Isn't that what they say?
We've done this before, we've done this before
The revolving door a thing of yesterday
Sometimes I miss you
Right now I miss you
I don't you don't hate me now
I don't like this anymore than you
But this extends far beyond control
There's nothing we could do
We've done this before, we've done this before
The third time's a charm
Isn't that what they say?
We've done this before, we've done this before
There's nothing charming about any of this

Nobody's Watching
01:57
|

Get out of bed at two a.m.
Walk down
Nobody's around
And nobody's watching
Nobody's watching you
And your shoes, they finally fit
And you said your feet were always too big
And now other little girls are doing just what you did
Nobody's watching
"Anything's possible"
You said
You and Jane, so beautiful that day
Two days and two nights afterward
You alone stood where only you belonged
Yeah you heard all the applause in the world

Today's the day I've been dreading
The official exchanging
Of all the things that we had left at each other's places
I went over to his apartment
Where we traded back odd and ends
While trying desperately not to look into each other's faces
Because the babies, the cars
And the house with the yard
And the picket fence
The two-point-five fantasy
The Mr. and Mrs.
Familiar kisses
I have let all this slip away from me
We sat on the floor in his living room
With no furniture because he was moving to a new place
Because this one reminds him of me
And we made small talk for a little while
Then shit got heavy, and I started to cry
As he revealed things
I sat there immobile, I couldn't speak
Because the babies, the cars
And the house with the yard
And something old and new
Something borrowed and blue
The Mr. and Mrs.
Familiar kisses
Sunsets on the front steps at age eighty two
Oh what the hell am I to do?
He told me that he would have
Asked me to be his wife
On an Alaskan cruise we were to have taken
On next Valentine's Day
And now the babies, the cars
And the house with the yard
And the picket fence
The two-point-five fantasy
The Mr. and Mrs.
Familiar kisses
I have let all this slip away from me
Oh what the hell is wrong with me?

Betty Page

Oooh, Betty Page
Oooh, what a babe
Bet she never longed for another size
Oooh, look at Ginny
She got so skinny
I bet her secret's behind those glossy eyes
I never knew 'til now
Look in the mirror
Foggier, clearer
It doesn't matter, it's all the same
Stable or changing
Constant arranging
In my head I'm fatter
Your pages are to blame
I never knew 'til now
Oooh, you're a Betty

Stupid Little Circles
02:10
|
|||
You can say just what you want to about me
I have come to learn a few things
Like how you can't make everybody like you
No matter how hard you try
And we will forever be (we will always be)
Running in all of these (running)
Stupid little circles
We will forever be (we will always be)
Running in all of these (running)
Small circles, small circles
I will shout at the top of my lungs
"I am not a horrible person"
But there is always some bastard standing by
To question all of your moves

Playing That Song
03:24
|
|||
It's strange how I love you but can't seem to carry on
In the same old fashoin
It's a rational cause
I love you still
And I'm sorry, so sorry
That I wasn't willing to change
The moment I realized that it came time to be through
I didn't see it coming
But I guess we never do
I hate myself
And I'm sorry I couldn't be someone else
Just for you
And now I can't even listen to the music that we liked
And I don't think I'll be able to do that for while
And you're playing that song tonight
You're playing that song

Sure You've Heard
02:17
|

I'm sure you've heard that I've been going out
I know your friends have been telling you all about
The places they've seen me
I'm sure yo've heard that I've been going out
And I know that it may seem
Slightly prematurely
But we have different ways of dealing with things
I'm sure you've heard who I've been hanging out with
I know your friends have been telling you all about
The places they've seen us
I'm sure you've heard who I've been hanging out with
But these days, my free time is spent
Trying to make new friends
'Cause when we broke up friendships came to an end
You ask why I don't call
And yo've got no clue at all
Well I can't tell you everything you wanna' hear
But you wanna' hear things from me
But it's a difficult thing
When you ask me to confirm your worst fears

Don't Think
02:26
|
|||
Don't think for a minute
That I wasn't ever fully in it
You know I, I was in it from the start
I handed you a platter and on it was my heart
Don't think up new reasons
For why I ended up leaving
You know I'm sometimes fucked up inside my head
Sometimes I get to thinking that I'd be better off dead
I don't know if you could ever see my point of view
I've got things I need to work on
Maybe you should too
Don't think for a minute
That I'm having fun and always living it up
Sometime like you I'm in a haze
If you knew how much I've been drinking
You might be amazed

Gray
03:37
|
|||
Right now your favorite color
Is a nice shade of gray
You'll sit your ass in the middle
And that's where you're gonna' stay
And I'll keep pressing you
With questions you say I won't
Wanna' hear the answers to
I guess, deep down, that I don't
I know you see I'm hurting
And you tell me you are too
But you're forever convincing me
This is what we should do
It hasn't been long since we
Split from one into two
And I wanna' know if you still
Love me like I still love you
I know you'll say
"I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you"
And I can't hate you for this
Be easier if I could
"I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you"
And I can't hate you for this
Although part of me wants to
I wish I could put a bandage on this
Give it a kiss
And make it better
I never thought that we'd be doing this
Sorry you fell out
Sorry I couldn't tell
But I'm not sorry I met you
I'm just so sorry I failed
I know you'll say
"I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you"
And I can't hate you for this
Be easier if I could
"I love you, I love you, but I am not in love with you"
And I can't hate you for this
Although part of me wants to
Goodbye, babe
