lyrics

is there anything else that bares my repeating?
run your fingers through my hair before you leave
years may grey us, with my hairline receding
used to ask me what i wanted to eat
told that you loved the indecisive chatter
you just kick me around like your words are the cleats
well my heart hit the net and yet i used to matter

so pour out that cup of coffee that you wanted to share
i don’t want to fan a friendship going nowhere
i don’t want to kiss in secret, have to lie to my friend
because i don’t want you like i did way back then
i don’t love you like i did way back then

so with my hands bound cry out your orders
tell your friends about my untimely demise
hang out with me, leave me gagged and quartered
victimize yourself, like a flu spread your lies
used to ask me where i wanted to eat my lunch
told me that you could always trust my judgement
now you just stop me, baby, savoring every crunch
i told you I loved but never was quite sure what love meant

way back when

i was confident in my confidant
time was spent picking what we want
to go eat for our silent lunch, way back when
you were my flower but now you haunt
every word and sentence and every font
every venue and menu at every restaurant
way back when

so is there anything else that bares my repeating?
