Lyrics:

The pictures in your hallway

The sayings on your wall

Your house light in the evening

It stays on all fall

And everybody’s dressing up

They’re making fancy drinks

There’s crystal and fine china

I wonder what sound does it make,

When it breaks?

 

I really don’t want to recall

Why I’m so scared of it all

No, I really don’t want to know.

Where all my friends will go

Did you weave me through your dreams,

Just to keep me around somewhere?

I’m looking into your eyes,

But I’m not really there.

 

Your boyfriend back from high school

Seemed like a decent man.

I heard you gave him the run-around

I heard that he moved to Berlin

You get the same look every time

Somebody mentions him.

 

I really don’t want to recall

Why I’m so scared of it all

No I really don’t want to know

Where all my friends will go

Did you weave through your dreams,

Just to keep me around somewhere

I’m looking into your eyes

But I’m not really there

It’s not that I don’t care

But I’m not really there.

 

It could have been the right thing

But this is the wrong way to prove it.
