You were in my head before I gave you a name
I cried a lot, and I was ashamed
I saw what's next before I knew what it was
Until then let's assume it's veretical
Stop waiting for chances to pass
Stop waiting for someone to ask
What's your story?
What's your story?
Caught your breath on a truth that you couldn't sing
Turn on the light so we can see what we're building
Or would I rather see it torn to shreds
And lament the pathetic mess?
You still got time to find your hard lines
And measure their distance from mine
Filling the space in finer ways
It's a capsaicin-like dependence
Well-dressed and lonely
Come and console me till my heyday
Between you and I
I couldn't think of a better lie
But if the shot's not focused
If you're not letting on
My only weapon's withdrawal
And a song that you left in my head
I know, I know, I know
That I could be wrong
So I'll stop fighting the comedown
And finally get some rest
Followed by the waking dream of the other half
Keeping good on the trend
I'm never strong enough
To leave it alone
A reverie's better than a photograph
Should I tell myself by the end
You meant better than you know?
