Black hole opened in the kitchen Every clock's a different time It would only take the energy to fix it I don't know why I am The way I am, not strong enough to be your man I try, I can't stop staring at the ceiling fan and Spinning out about things that haven't happened Breathing in and out Drag racing through the canyon Singing "Boys Don't Cry" Do you see us getting scraped up off the pavement? I don't know why I am The way I am, not strong enough to be your man I lie, I am just lowering your expectations Half a mind that keeps the other second guessing Close my eyes and count Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god Always an angel, never a god I don't know why I am the way I am There's something in the static, I think I've been having revelations Comin' to, in the front seat, nearly empty Skip the exit to our old street and go home Go home alone

Met you at the dive bar to go shoot some pool Make fun of cowboys with the neck tattoos Ask you easy questions about work and school And trying to be cool about it Feelin' like an absolute fool about it Wishin' you were kind enough to be cruel about it Tellin' myself I can always do without it Knowin' that it probably isn't true I came prepared for absolution if you'd only ask So I take some offense when you say, "No regrets" I remember it's impossible to pass your test But I'm trying to forget about it Feelin' like I'm breaking a sweat about it Wishin' you would kindly get out of my head about it Tellin' myself one day I'll forget about it Knowin' that it probably isn't true Once, I took your medication to know what it's like And now I have to act like I can't read your mind I ask you how you're doing and I let you lie But we don't have to talk about it I can walk you home and practice method acting I'll pretend being with you doesn't feel like drowning Tellin' you it's nice to see how good you're doing Even though we know it isn't true
