How can I decide what’s right
When you’re clouding up my mind?
I can’t win your losing fight
All the time.
Not gonna ever own what’s mine
When you’re always taking sides
But you won’t take away my pride.
No, not this time.
Not this time.
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well.
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know.
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it’s hanging on your tongue.
Just boiling in my blood.
But you think that I can’t see
What kind of man that you are,
If you’re a man at all.
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own.
(I’m screaming, “I love you so.”)
On my own.
(My thoughts you can’t decode)
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah.
But how did we get here?
Well, I think I know.
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools
Of ourselves.
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools
Of ourselves.
Yeah.Yeah.
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah.
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well.
I think I know.
I think I know.
There is something I see in you.
It might kill me.
I want it to be true.

I wake up everyday it’s a daydream
Everythin’ in my life isn’t what it seems
I wake up just to go back to sleep
I act real shallow but I’m in to deep
And all I care about is sex and violence
And a heavy bass line is my kind of silence
Everybody says I got to get a grip
But I let sanity give me the slip
Some people think I’m bonkers
But I just think I’m free
Man I’m just living my life
There nothing crazy about me
Some people pay for thrills
but I get mine for free
Man I’m just living my life
There nothing crazy about me
(Bonkers)

Get a real job
Keep the wind at your back and the sun on your face
All the immediate unknowns
Are better than knowing this tired and lonely fate
Does he love you?
Does he love you?
Will he hold your tiny face in his hands?
I guess it’s spring, I didn’t know
It’s always seventy-five with no melting snow
A married man, he visits me
I receive his letters in the mail twice a week
And I think he loves me
And when he leaves her
He’s coming out to California
I guess it all worked out
There’s a ring on your finger and the baby’s due out
You share a place by the park
And run a shop for antiques downtown
And he loves you
Yeah he loves you
And the two of you will soon become three
And he loves you
Even though you
Used to say you were flawed if you weren’t free
Let’s not forget ourselves good friend
You and I were almost dead
And you’re better off for leaving
Yeah you’re better off for leaving
Late at night
I get the phone
You’re at the shop sobbing all alone
Your confession it’s coming out
You only married him
You felt your time was running out
But now you love him
And your baby
At last you are complete
But he’s distant and you found him
On the phone pleading, saying, ‘baby I love you’
And I’ll leave her and I’m coming out to California”
Let’s not forget ourselves good friend
I am flawed if I’m not free
And your husband will never leave you
He will never leave you for me

I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That’s the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m in love
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her
If I tried
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
The more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What’s the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m in love
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her
If I tried
What’s the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m in love
I’m a believer
I couldn’t leave her
If I tried
Then I saw her face
Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I’m a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m a believer
Then I saw her face
I’m a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I’m a believer

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when, you’re gonna let me in
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don’t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know?

So why don’t we go, so why don’t we go?
Hmmm yeahh.
This could be the end of everything
So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know?

I don’t need to be anything other
Than a prison guard’s son
I don’t need to be anything other
Than a specialist’s son
I don’t have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I’m going, is knowing where I’m coming from
I don’t want to be
Anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms
Wondering what I’ve got to do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me
I’m surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I’m surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can’t be the only one who’s learned!
I don’t want to be
Anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms
Wondering what I’ve got to do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me
Can I have everyone’s attention please?
If you’re not like this and that, you’re gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I’m telling everybody
I don’t want to be
Anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I’m tired of looking ‘round rooms
Wondering what I’ve got to do
Or who I’m supposed to be
I don’t want to be anything other than me
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be

We’ll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don’t need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don’t quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They’re not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see
I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

It’s 5 o’clock in the morning
Conversation got boring
You said you’re going to bed soon
So I snuck off to your bedroom
And I thought I’d just wait there
Til I heard you come up the stairs
I pretended I was sleeping
And I was hoping you would creep in
With me
You put your arm around my shoulder
It was as if the room got colder
We moved closer in together
And started talking bout the weather
Said tomorrow would be fun
We can watch A Place In The Sun
I didn’t know where this was going
When you kissed me
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine
Who’da known, who’da known
When you flash up on my phone
I’d no longer feel alone
No longer feel alone
I haven’t left here for days now
And I’m becoming amazed how
You’re quite affectionate in public
In fact, your friend said it made her feel sick
And even though it’s moving forward
There’s just the right amount of awkward
And today you accidentally
Called me baby
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine
Who’da known, who’da known
When you flash up on my phone
I’d no longer feel alone
Let’s just stay
Let’s just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We’ll be laughing all the way
Told your friends
They all know
We exist but we’re taking it slow
Now let’s just see how we go
Now let’s see how we go
Let’s just stay
Let’s just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We’ll be laughing all the way
Told your friends
They all know
We exist but we’re taking it slow
Now let’s just see how we go
Now let’s see how we go

Oh, well imagine, as I’m pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can’t help but to hear, no I can’t help but to hear an exchanging of words:
“What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!” says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
“And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom’s bride is a whore.”
I chime in with a “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in, “Haven’t you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!”
No, it’s much better to face these kinds of things with a sense oh….
Well in fact, well I’ll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne
