Like a ton of bricks, it hits
Before she finishes her sentence
As the predicate predicts
A swift ending to her presence
I can see it coming from a mile away
At 600 miles an hour
A surprise attack, tora tora, kamikaze, no looking back
A tactic of considerable power
Whoa! It doesn't matter now
What I should've done then
My heart was in the right place
At the wrong time again
It doesn't matter now
What I should've done then
My heart was in the right place
At the wrong time again
Close to half a second, my composure was lost
And I had found my modesty
Everything not in the dumpster was otherwise tossed
Her voice lacking sincerity
It doesn't matter now
What I should've done then
My heart was in the right place
At the wrong time again
It doesn't matter now
What I should've done then
My heart was in the right place
At the wrong time again
It's you plus me divided by
Inadequacy times my denial (a phone call is made at midnight that won't let her fall asleep)
Minus three words that were thrown around and around (the ringer's turned off, but she can hear the answering machine)
And around and a why can doo mang ing tang duaplan
If you want to get away, you'll have to go through me
Or walk over my dead body, and you just may
The ship is sinking, I'm the captain, there's no escape
If you want to get away, you're gonna have to go through me, hey!
