A traffic jam when you're already late,
A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break.
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

And then meeting his beautiful wife. And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic,
And yeah, I really do think.

I had no choice but to hear you.
You stated your case, time and again.
I thought about it.
You treat me like I'm a princess.
I'm not used to liking that.
You ask how my day was. You've already won me over
In spite of me.
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet.
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are.
I couldn't help it,
It's all your fault.

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
Yeah, oh.
I recommend walkin' around naked in your living room
Yeah. Swallow it down (What a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (Swimming in your stomach)

You love, you learn.
You cry, you learn.
You lose, you learn.
You bleed, you learn.
You scream, you learn.

I sang Alleluia in the choir (Alleluia)
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man.
My brothers, They never went blind for what they did, but I may as well have. In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son, I had one more stupid question.

Wait a minute, man
You mispronounced my name
You didn't wait for all the information
Before you turned me away.
Wait a minute, sir,
You kind of hurt my feelings.
You see me as a sweet back-loaded puppet
And you've got meal ticket taste.

I'm broke, but I'm happy.
I'm poor, but I'm kind.
I'm short, but I'm healthy, yeah.
I'm high, but I'm grounded.
I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed.
I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby. And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine.
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin' a high five.

Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love.
Don't forget to win first place.
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face.

'Cause the joke that you made in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes.
And you know it.
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
I hope you feel it.
Well, can you feel it?

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no.
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died?
Till you died, but you're still alive. And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away.
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me.
You, you, you oughta know.

I want you to know that I'm happy for you,
I wish nothing but the best for you both.
An older version of me,
Is she perverted like me?
Would she go down on you in a theatre?
Does she speak eloquently?
And would she have your baby?
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother.

And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off,
Slap me with the splintered ruler.
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already.
If only I could hunt the hunter.

Do I stress you out?
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say, "How appropriate!"

And we hurt the ones that we love the most
Why we do only heaven knows
And I don't know why I'm still holding on, holding on. I reach in my heart to see
If your love is alive in me
But now I feel alone
My feelings turn to stone
My heart makes no apologies.

I had high expectations
It's something I could not compromise
And when I saw you I wasn't ready
It completely took my heart by surprise.
