Every time you come around I feel That life's worth noticing And every time you com around I fear That you won't notice me It's not supposed to be a game But you keep playing It's not supposed to be this way Just keep pretending Whoa, so where do you want me? Whoa, so how's it gonna be? Swell up inside of me and steal The air out from my lungs Hook, line, and sinker reel me in With the words spewed from your tongue You played your part, acting so well The tortured lover Pull back the curtain take a bow But the show's not over Whoa, so where do you want me? Whoa, so how's it gonna be? Forget words unspoken I said I'd do anything for you But tonight's almost over So where do you want me? Whoa, so where do you want me? Whoa, so how's it gonna be?

Lyrics: I've been up all night Bouncing quarters, writing the news Driving through my empty spaces Scattering lead-based paint On the way home I stopped Spat off the bridge Caught a fish, threw it back It's too much to take tonight. Did I tell you, did I tell you that I'm stupid for you? Sorry I'm not your type Maybe in a dimmer light. In the elevator I'm the face in the wall Eyes like a skeleton, Swaying to the echo and call Dressed up for muzak and mingling with fiends I've been up all night Bouncing quarters, writing the news Driving through my empty spaces Did I tell you, did I tell you that I'm solemn and alone? Sorry I don't want to fight Have a drink, call it a night. Siphon the difference, diffuse the open tones Tell all the crashers it's time to go home.

VERSE: I've been down at the shore with sand between my teeth fade in on a fallen figure in the ether underneath A red sky and a westward migration clutching the shattered bell of a wine bottle washed up from nowhere anyway, if you're nowhere I'll never tell PRE-CHORUS: Where does this leave me? From the sky, I'm small. CHORUS: Let me take you in my arms Spread like waves and fall apart Breaking at the shoreline for a while In the darkness, I'm a liar I'm charming as a priest by daylight Is it wrong to say I want to see you smile? VERSE: I've been walking the shore with sand between my toes fade out on a blurred horizon and hours in front of TV shows Signals from a satellite attack my ears on Tuesday night take my hand across the void Tell me it'll be all right PRE-CHORUS: Where does this leave me? From the sky, I'm small. CHORUS: Let me take you in my arms Spread like waves and fall apart Breaking at the shoreline for a while In the darkness, I'm a liar I'm charming as a priest by daylight Is it wrong to say I want to see you smile?

Spin me around Forget what you found You force your way in But you don't belong Promises made For yourself to save You wanted it all But you're only losing me Will you find what you found in me? Wailing, waiting Look around to see who looked away Watching, wondering What went wrong and how you lost your way Oh, your desperate pleading Your eyes, tears filling They won't let you in You're reaching out And pulling me down Trying so hard You're just more alone Pretending you see Something in me A life something more Than what you first asked for Will you find what you found in me? Wailing, waiting Look around to see who looked away Watching, wondering What went wrong and how you lost your way Oh, your desperate pleading Your eyes, tears filling They won't let you in

It's a perfect thing You're a mystery Don't know what you mean But you scream my name And there's no escape What you do to me But your worlds are a world apart What you say and what you mean So keep on with your clever lines While I'm pulled between And I'm falling down through the cracks in the screen What is that to you? And you said I looked like your wet dream queen And who am I to argue? Close your eyes and breathe Take the life from me While you grit your teeth Cry in agony Or in ecstasy And pour into me But your worlds are a world apart What you say and what you mean Keeping on with your clever lines While I'm pulled between And I'm falling down through the cracks in the screen What is that to you? And you said I looked like your wet dream queen And who am I to argue?
