When I see you looking I can't help it I feel alive
You think this half baked man could keep you satisfied
My hand goes in my pocket whenever I see you look
What is it about me that makes you forget what you took
And everything I am and everything that I was ever to be
And just do what you can and I'll pray you're not the death of me
Which way to rock bottom
On the way I write a symphony
Pick a way to be a lover
But maybe don't kiss and tell
And when I see you coming I can't help it I close my eyes
As if the sound of my breathing won't make you realize
The groundwork that I did I never meant for you to come my way
The race back to nothing hit me hard yesterday
And everything I am and everything that I was ever to be
Just do what you can and I'll pray you're not the death of me
Which way to rock bottom
On the way I write a symphony
Pick a way to be a lover
But maybe don't kiss and tell
Running jump a helter-skelter
And watch me waver
Away from another
But maybe don't kiss and tell
Deny the damage you've done
If no one knows then I've won
Though we beg and we choose
You can't expect me to lose
And I hear myself saying
Which way to rock bottom
On the way I write a symphony
Pick a way to be a lover
But maybe don't kiss and tell
Running jump a helter-skelter
And watch me waver
Away from another
But maybe don't kiss and tell
