twelve oh five, sunday morning, the air's cool outside
you and i sit in the same place the couch the great divide
maybe i've made a mistake being here tonight
i don’t mind, all this will end if i make it to sunrise
i hate watching movies that scare me too much
but all films are frightening sometimes
after all what good's a story
that you know the ending to
i live in the past cause it's easier than
working out what i'm going to do
what scares me the most in realizing that
is that i still don't know what that means

you've got a lot of nerve to ask me how i am
as if you don't already know
and your mouth's got a lot to say about what i've done wrong
but your ears are both sewn shut
so when you ask me if something’s wrong
well, all i can think is you'd better believe there is
i've heard it all a thousand times; you're tired of being sad
as if you're the only one
i've held my tongue for way too long, but you're vain to see
things any other way
i think it's really funny the only solution
is one where it all ends perfectly for you
how could you do all the things that you did to me
knowing the things that i told you about me
and still have the nerve to act like i'm painting you as the bad guy?

if we were both dogs in a shelter
i'd be a black and white mutt
aged and weary with a lazy right eye
and you'd be a labrador puppy
already housetrained and good with kids
and you'll soon go to a friendly, loving home
while i'll be fated to a life sentence here.
i'd look out hopefully
at the families passing through
and give them all my cutest stares
but i know that it won't be enough
because i know that my best couldn't hold a candle to yours.
and the hardest part of all of this
is that i can't even have the satisfaction
of being angry and upset and pissed off at you
because i know it won't do me any good
and deep down inside of me
i'm happy for you.

i wasn't there for you i must admit
but you should've seen my eyes light up when i saw your name on the ticket
"that's so punk rock," is what my roommate said
i just laughed and nodded my head
on the way there i make jokes about
transylvania and the count
but humor's always been a crutch for me
and self control's never been something i've had very much of
i thought that seeing you up there
bathed in all the lights and sounds
would help me figure out the things in my head
but man, oh man i've never been so wrong
the only record ever ruined for me
was done by the girl who wrote it, who i'll never meet
you made me want to smoke cigarettes, you made me want to drink whiskey
but even if your love was unconditional, it still wouldn’t save me

and even though i've read this book several times before
i always forget how it goes.
but in spite of this, whenever i reach the end of it
i'm never surprised by the twist.
but at least i can say that every time i read it
it's just as exciting as the first.
...
how can you say after all these years you don't want to see my face anymore?
why can't you see what you're doing to me?
well, i sure hope you're happier this way
