His beard is sharp
Styled and clean
She played the harp
In his mind, I mean
They went out
And up in flames
They weren't allowed
To love a love, the same

Down the road
And up the river
Kicking rocks
You feel a shiver
But I'll be around, oh I be there
Just tell me where you're to be found

We are so incompatible
You are so incompetent
Don't hear a thing you've been saying
Nothing on this green Earth is permanent
So you're words are falling on deaf ears
And my mouth, well my mouth is dumb
All these years and my ever present fears
Dull my senses of everything that's fun

Never, never
No, it could never be
Ever, ever
Why is it you can't see?
Are you that blind?
Or you just a wishful thinker?

Over these times
And under these flames
Words that rhyme
And all that impending fame
Don't ever get me up
And never bring me down
When I spill my cup
I don't ever usually frown
I just ask for another

You put me down
You pick me up
You wear a crown
As I drink up
You walk on over
You say goodbye
I've blown my cover
Please don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye

You're in your car
You fiddle with your hair
You say you wanna hit the bar
As I just stare
Looking at you
And peering through
I'm looking through you
And now I know you
Now I know you better than before
And now I know you

With a sigh
I look away
Say goodbye
And I'm on my way
My eyes may be damp
But then soon they're dry
Never thought I'd date a *****
But no one can say I never tried
No, no, no one can say that
No one can even say I didn't try

I'm not in my right mind
Life seems to just pass me by
I think about it all the time
How fine would it be to feel fine?
But then I shift into overdrive
And I go deaf, then I go blind

Oh how nice would it be
To just be allowed to see?
To be buzzing around like a bee
To be allowed to say "us", and "we"
But sometimes things can't be
Always about me

I know I'm not the center of you
And I know half of what I think isn't true
But when I'm down, and feeling so blue
I never ever seem to find the right shoe
And I'm sure, sometimes you feel it too
How nice it would be, to be rid of this flu

From the dimples in her cheeks
The way her lips move when she speaks
And the sway of her hips
The gentle security of her lips
Everyone's love is the love of all loves
Everyone's story is Romeo & Juliet

The way he looks when he's just woken up
Even if he knows, he still asks "What's up?"
The wrinkles in his forehead when he laughs
The calmness that takes over even after a crash
Everyone's love is the love of all loves
Everyone's story is Romeo & Juliet

The way time seems to just come and pass
Neverending and flowing through the water like bass
How the troubles seem to come to an end
Whenever you're with that one special friend
Everyone's love is the love of all loves
Everyone's story is Romeo & Juliet

And
Nothing was the same
Yeah
Everything went back from where it came
And
I know it sounds kind of lame
But
Why did it have to go from where it came?
Why did it have to go back from where it came from?

I'm over here
Watching you kiss her
I've never feared
Being alone, alone
But now time is passing
And more time has gone
Nothing is lasting
When it is the way it is, it's hard to have fun

I get those nagging brain twitches
When I'm alone at night and in my bed
They eat at me from the undermost part of me
I just can never seem to get this wrapped around my head
Things aren't turning out, no they never have
And now I'm stuck here trying to figure it out
Oh it's so hard for me to forget it and just laugh
But this is the way, yeah, I think this is the way it has to be
