You said you wanted someone just like me |
|
you let me read it in your diary |
|
I'd like to write this out of history |
|
it was an awkward patch |
|
I had an itch to scratch |
|
We spent the summer kissing |
|
in a basement room |
|
learning all the rules |
|
you made them up as you went along |
|
and then your passion cooled |
|
you really had me fooled |
|
I'm not gonna be around |
|
you better write this down |
|
I'm gonna leave without a sound |
|
you better write this down |
|
I didn't really need to hear the facts |
|
but you know me I couldn't help but ask |
|
and now you're telling me I need to relax |
|
I chose the warmest day |
|
to rain on your parade |
|
I learned to love the sickly sweet |
|
in order to meet |
|
all of my body's needs |
|
you swore to keep me in your nest |
|
how could you tell a lie |
|
about the birth of a child? |
|
I won't always be around... |
|
day by day we assemble it all |
|
and then we tear it away |
|
Stealing post-punk posters |
|
from your sister's room |
|
(you opened your diary |
|
I wish you'd never shown me) |
|
Gossamer voices rising from speakers |
|
in a prefabricated plume |
|
Here's an entry for your diary: |
|
dictation - are you ready? |
|
I'm not gonna be around |
|
you better write this down |
|
I'm gonna leave without a sound |
|
you better write this down |
