Grave Miscalculation
03:50
|
|||
One more time from the beginning
What do you think I want from you
And what’s it seem I’m getting
I’ve clearly misspoken
Misspoken
It was a grave miscalculation
An afterthought that led into
An unexpected lack of patience
From me
You could avoid this conversation
But I need a clue
What do I mean to you
Is there something I’m forgetting
What am I supposed to do
I know you’re tired
But are you quitting
I’ve clearly misspoken
Misspoken
It was a grave miscalculation
Another scene to draw into
An overfed imagination
For me
Go ahead, return the accusation
But do I need to prove
What I should mean to you
It was a grave miscalculation
As if you needed to exclude
Even a shred of validation
For me
You could avoid this conversation
But I need to prove
What I should mean to you
I should mean to you
I should mean to you

Almost Gone
03:43

Fate got me running back
to the same old thing
Just a chain smoking heart attack
Hope the phone don’t ring
‘Cause I’m almost gone
Yeah I’m almost gone
And it’s all the same to you anyway
Babe why you holding back
Do the words still sting
Fill a painkiller almanac
It won’t change a thing
Cause I’m almost gone
Yeah I’m almost gone
And it’s all the same to you anyway
Trip on my shoelace, pack my stuff
Don’t know what I want but can’t enough
Of the same old thing
Close the drapes and drain the bath
Think I found the problem, can’t do the math
There’s a song to sing
When I’m almost gone
Yeah I’m almost gone
And it’s all the same to you anyway
Faith dies
So slow
Goodbye
You know
That I have loved you
And I must leave you
And I will haunt your soul
Cause I’m almost gone
Yeah I’m almost gone
Yeah I’m almost gone
Yeah I’m almost gone
And it’s all the same to you anyways

Proving You Right
03:53
|

You know what makes me tick
I got no more tricks
Hiding up my sleeve, ooh
Two dots make a line
Oh, but what if I’m
Not geometry, ooh
Oh, I don’t know
I could give and take
I could come and go
Let you in, put on a show
I could try to change your mind
But I’d only be proving you right
I know I’m difficult
And predictable
As a spelling bee, ooh
Well then, on the count of three
Will I stay or leave
Either way, you saw it coming
Oh you did, well
Oh, I don’t know
I could give and take
I could come and go
Let you in, put on a show
I could try to change your mind
But I’d only be proving you right

If You Knew
03:56

There was no light on the shore
But it's never as simple as that
And I couldn't wait anymore
I’m sure it wasn't my fault
You had somewhere to go
But no part of you lingered at all
I thought maybe if you knew
Like I never imagined you do
If I only knew what to say
But can you respect anybody
Who needs you that way
You are bound to forget
These things tend to work themselves out
But how many times have I slipped
Like if I went out on a limb
Could you show on my skin
Maybe all of the magic unfolds
But can you convince anybody
To love what they don't
Hey, nothing will change if you leave it to fate
Oh, can I change it back now
Hey, no one can blame you for trying
But that won't stop you, that won't stop you
I thought maybe if you knew
Like I never imagined you do
If I only knew what to say
But can you respect anybody
Who needs you that way

Professor

Professor, professor
Be my undresser
As I’m lying awake
In the dark
I’m feeling inspired
And I won’t get you fired
No, I’m just getting sick
Of playing the part
Professor, professor
Don’t judge me the lesser
‘Cause you think I don’t know
How it ends
If you think I’m frightened
‘Cause you’re so damn enlightened
My dear, I only fear
I must reprimand you
Think you’re so wise
I’ll admit you’ve got eyes
But you never see me
Let’s take a chance
Please shut up about France
It’ll never, no, never relieve me
Professor, professor
My faithful de-stressor
You’re the reason I took up
This art
Now I’ve learned my lesson
So we best start undressing
Before you go ahead and break
My poor heart, ooh
Before you go ahead and break
My poor heart

Switch

Half an inch is all I need to know
Just how every mile of this will go
But all your reasons are your own
And we won’t be alone
I’d like to look at you closer
I’d like to feel for a switch
Find out which rope I should pull on
And meet you at the end of it
I could tell you anything you like
Invent a war and say I’m on your side
And rest my head upon the lie
That I tried to be kind
Nobody’s catching on fire
No one will fall through the floor
I hope you don’t take it badly
‘Cause I don’t bother anymore
If you go
You won’t falter
Only the shadow of doubt
That is bound to cross your mind
Looking back
You will never quite be sure
If I was a flame
Or if I was the tunnel ‘round your light
