Lyrics by | Danny |
As if my jaw were made of glass, when she kissed me it broke
And where there's fire, there's me getting blinded by the smoke
Sometimes I am a bitter, worn-out, walking, talking, lame apology
And it's times like that I wish she'd had a little faith in me
Whoa
I dreamt of models made of wood and wire and little plastic parts
Can't remember when I wasn't so afraid of life imitating art
The models mapped out marked-out parachute paths through the sky
The paths I've noticed now that they're impossible for me to try
'Cause on the fingers of one hand I
Can count the times I've let myself be led
And I can poke myself in the eyeballs
With the two times I thought she meant what she said
I thought she meant what she said
I thought she meant what she said
And I don't want to wonder whether
I would worship the water she walks on, oh no
I've been warned not to beat myself up just for having a heart, yeah
But you know that doubt is in the eye of the beholder
And someday we will probably be wiser when we're older
And if I were wiser now, I'd wait for that
They told me not to bring logic into this
I told them not to take logic out of this
I'm less concerned about the recent past we don't expect
Than about the distant future we might already have missed
There might have been some tough words coming from her lips
But I've got definitions at my fingertips
It's all about vocabulary
Could you please place that dictionary
On the fingers of one hand I
Can count the times I've let myself be led
And I can poke myself in the eyeballs
With the two times I thought she meant what she said
I thought she meant what she said
I thought she meant what she said
I thought I thought wrong
But it's not that we don't mean things
It's just that we don't mean them for as long
As we mean to mean them at the time
'Cause on the fingers of one hand I
Can count the times I've let myself be led
And I can poke myself in the eyeballs
With the two times I thought she meant what she said
I thought she meant what she said
I thought she meant what she said
I thought she meant what she said
And I don't want to wonder whether
I would worship the water she walks on, oh no
I've been warned not to beat myself up just for having a heart, yeah
But you know that doubt is in the eye of the beholder
And someday we will probably be wiser when we're older
And if I were wiser now, I'd wait for that
