He put his foot down
But I wasn't turned on
I looked him in the eye, both feet on the ground
But he stood strong
Not trying to toss him over
Like the wind
I guess I'm trying to win him over
With swimming lessons
And Hollywood wouldn't take him
But it did in its own way
Now he's off running with the bulls
But I was never the matador anyway
Still, doesn't he know
That I reach for the bottle
Cause it shows too much
And he's leaving full throttle
I guess I lied before
Never could plant my feet down
He watered me until I grew
Now he's leaving town
Jesus, erase this strange gravity
That makes me foam from the mouth
And howl like a dog
In the fog of his shadow
Doesn't he know,
I get ****** up
Because I am
****** up
But what color is showing, now
Cause orange is all I see
As I'm on my knees
But Saturn won't stop the bleedin'
It's the cause and the cure
But I'm a sore Buddha
And he thinks she's cuter
So put me out of my misery
Cause with you I felt free
And when it comes down to it
All the drugs and the ***
Didn't make me feel a thing
That was real
What's the deal
With this unspoken fear
I can't even cry
But I wanna scream all night
But I know you'll push me away
Like the other day
So please, let me be your last DJ
I'll put on a song
That'll make you hum along
And maybe you'll remember me that way
Not as the sprout that never
Became the bean
Not as the lout
Who never grew wings
Not as the south as it looks
From a vampire book
Not as the house
That fell on her stockings
It's not the sound of you walking away
It's the sound of you knocking
In my mind, all of the time
Can't stop the cling and clatter
As the rain pitter-patters on my
Window pane
You were my superman
But I was never your....
I guess I'm asking for rescue
You hold the cards
But never read my cues
And if this were a movie
We'd be hitched already
But I won't think her a *****
If with her you go steady
Just promise me
You won't creep back in my life
After I've set fire
To all of the memories
But don't you worry
I'll build a fortress around
All the love and the sounds
That pulled you close to me
Everything happens for a reason
What a sour season
But just in time for the moon to devour
Both of us in our final hours
So take me serious next time
Say goodnight, not goodbye
