lyrics

Show of hands:
Would anybody here like to watch movies and eat delivered food? Wear comfy clothes and tell personal truths?

Show of hands to an empty room.
I suck my thumb and sing: "What did I do?"

Show of hands:
Would anybody here like me as something more than merely friendly if you'd just met me these past 4 weeks?

You don't have to sugar coat it nicely,
because that's a form of lying to me.

A thousand miles of thought just for her.
I'm crying in a cup about why I left home.
A thousand miles a minute just for her.
She's crying in a plate about her ex-brother.
A thousand miles in a circling car.
This conversation's looped 4 bars.
A thousand miles of speech;
he listened selflessly to me, his enemy.

Show of hands:
Would anybody respect me if they only knew how I abandoned Audrey? If they only knew how I hurt...her.

I was going to rhyme, but I cannot sing her name.
Our past is the problem, and I'm the one to blame.
Or maybe she's over it, and I'm a loser.

Maybe,
I could learn to socialize without having to draw anonymous eyes, thinking I am funny all the time.

Maybe dilated eyes can finally help me
be the boy I was born to be
plunged into a world of maturity,
where I've grown, and these clothes no longer fit me.
With memories as mammaries poking...
you thought that I was joking!
The content never shimmered right.
I could write and record, but I'd be up all night.
