i heard from them that you're leaving
but you don't wanna stop having fun
the truth is I look for you
in everyone

I see
that you're working on changing your mood
but you still hesitate to pick up the phone
did they warn you about the quicksand
and the endless applauding hands
or is that why all I get's a dial tone

they tell you that it isn't easy speaking
in front of small groups of people
friends and neighbors who'll throw you
to the dogs

call me back when you get this
I've got a message that you can't miss
hearing through the electrical wires
and my therapist just got fired

I can tell that
you love your suitcases full of money
that's why you're in a funny mood
did they warn you about all the loopholes
and falling down the rabbit holes
or is that why all I get's a dial tone

they told me that she was pretty
and that she burned your house down
which is why you never trust anyone
well she must be pretty fancy
to get away with those things
like parking tickets and hiding from the sun

well I know I used to like you
and you know I might still do
even while you're out there having fun
cause I used to think that you were the one
