Stop
Stay just for a little while
This heart is like a carousel
Never seems to settle down
But you could be my right now
Or just live our lives in parallel
Two lies that never intersect
We're out of love and oversexed
We're coming in and out of time
There never is a right time, with you
And I don't know what we're gonna do
So I'll just lie and say I love you, for now
And if that was all that love would take
Then I would melt it down
And dig myself a lake
And force myself to drown
But baby wipe away that tear
What's the point in crying over such a silly thing
I know something about fear
I'm accidentally older but still don't know a goddamn thing
Don't tell me I sound naive
I know all about it but that doesn't fix my problems at all
Wait
I hope I didn't take too long
But I think I'm ready now
Says the man through the mirror
To his boy been gone for years
His life and hair replaced with grey
Pretty soon now he will fade away
Mom and Dad not there to bail him out
His only instincts left are fear and doubt
I must be singing out of tune
Because I'm never getting through to you
You're just nestled by the fire, all alone
And if that was all that life would take
Then I would melt it down
And dig myself a lake
And force myself to drown
But baby wipe away that tear
What's the point in crying over such a silly thing
I know something about fear
I'm accidentally older but still don't know a goddamn thing
Don't tell me how to behave
If that was all it took then I would have no problems at all
