oh, i could just leave things a lot more easily than you'd think
because i've been known to retreat every few years.
so what am i waiting for?
"it's sad." i know.
the youngness of my young man shows.
please accept my apology and wait with me.
oh, i could just die now and noone would really have to find out
because i've been lying down for years.
so what am i waiting for?
it's sad. i see in other me who i want to be--
sympathy and honesty. (god knows i'm trying)

i lay my head on a pillow and another on my head lightly.
i pull the blankets up just over my mouth and breathe.
i spend time thinking about people i know, how i feel, and if it shows.
i turn over.
i've got a girl in my bed who's more sure of what she says than what she hears.
i've got a song in my head that i'm sure i won't remember.
come morning, may my mind be at ease.
oh, please come, morning.

i've got nothing to say.
i've got building blocks for teeth and a tube sock for a tongue.
i can't do anything.
i can't do my hair right, or have a good time, or fall asleep with my girl.
if you don't want to see the worst in me then you've got two choices--
cover your eyes, both hands tight, or just leave.
i don't know what i think.
i'm unsure that i could or couldn't care less or more about everyone i do or don't know.
if you don't want to be with a deadbeat like me,
well, i won't blame you.

it's your last chance to change things.
i know you've been getting by alright,
but i saw you at the party without a drink in hand or a word in mouth.
nothing to do or talk about.
poor skinny fat kid without any interest in making friends.
(i know...it's not easy being)
"oh, go on..."
no, go on.

an accident.
an ambulence.
what an ugly scene we make as human beings who do what we want to do.
it's true--we move on.
did anyone survive? (honestly, i don't know)
is anyone alive? (for sure no)

i've a picture of you on a parisian street--
early morning, late spring,
and i know what you were thinking.
you were taking a break from life.
you were traveling light--a pair of walking shoes and a sweater.
you were where you were when you pictured where you'd be--anywhere but home.
it's your last chance to change things.
i know you've been getting by alright,
and alright's okay for the day-to-days, but for the rest of your life?
an honest face like that, you can't take back too easy.
an honest face like that, i just can't forget too easy. (god knows i'm trying)

Think About It

if you go, you should know, it matters not "where", but "why".
is it your friends? have they let you down again?
or is it love? or the lack there of?
the way we crave...
if you go you should know, should you lose your way, i'm staying home. (why?)
