[00:17.71]
[00:19.71] I'm holding here a book
[00:21.55] Notable, but not the greatest
[00:24.15] Stolen for me by the latest
[00:26.74] In a long line of thieves
[00:29.15] And I'm just about to drop it
[00:31.30] Down that manhole of memories
[00:33.97] When I realize it doesn't bother me
[00:36.16] Like love's mementos usually do
[00:38.86] And I look up to see who's different here
[00:41.15] The latest me or the latest you
[00:43.86]
[00:44.23] Course, you're the kind of guy who doesn't lie
[00:46.35] He just doctors everything
[00:48.21] Chooses some unassuming finger
[00:50.53] And quietly moves his wedding ring
[00:53.25] Who rewrites his autobiography
[00:55.48] For any pretty girl who'll sing
[00:58.28] But you can't fool the queen, baby
[01:00.71] Cuz I married the king
[01:02.68]
[01:03.06] And maybe it was I who betrayed his majesty
[01:05.05] With no opposite reality
[01:08.02] Like a puddle with no reflection
[01:10.68] Of the sky or the trees
[01:13.09] But after my dreaded beheading
[01:14.90] I tied that sucker back on with a string
[01:17.92] And I guess I'm pretty different now
[01:22.08] Considering
[01:23.46]
[01:43.52] I kissed you on the street that night
[01:45.75] On the far side of four
[01:48.96] But I didn't like the taste
[01:50.73] In my mouth or yours
[01:53.85] And ignoring the persona you wore for my benefit
[01:57.32] For once I had the balls to call it
[02:00.80] Just call it
[02:03.46] But a lesson must be lived
[02:05.80] In order to be learned
[02:08.14] And the clarity to see and stop this now
[02:10.66] That is what I've earned
[02:12.54]
[02:12.91] And maybe it was I who betrayed his majesty
[02:15.24] With no opposite reality
[02:17.77] Like a puddle with no reflection
[02:20.47] Of the sky or the trees
[02:22.79] But after my dreaded beheading
[02:24.54] I tied that sucker back on with a string
[02:27.56] And I guess I'm pretty different now
[02:31.87] Considering
[02:34.02]
[02:53.04] I'm holding here a book
[02:54.82] Notable, but not the greatest
[02:57.51] Stolen for me by the latest
[03:00.13] In a long line of thieves
[03:02.56] And I'm just about to drop it
[03:04.70] Down that manhole of memories
[03:07.30] When I realize it doesn't bother me
[03:09.98] And heartache not so dire
[03:12.36] Cuz I looked up to see integrity
[03:14.74] Finally won over desire
[03:17.26]
