well I know you're having a bad day
and I'll try to make you smile
anyway
I can see that my efforts do
little to help you but
push you away

I'm not sure which way to go
or what to do
as I think about you
the way it seems right now
there should be less of me
and more of you

I can try and come up
with a way to help you cheer up
but there's not much I can do 
racing glovesI should think before I speak
I could learn to keep my mouth closed
I'm so contradictory
that by now you oughta' know

eighteen years and a comfortable haircut
really don't mean very much

and they say
can't believe that
you want to leave it
behind
you know that
I don't see it
when it's mine

I don't want you
to see me try
never to see me try

you make me feel obscene
acting so divine
but it isn't how it seems
do you really find

do you really think you're smarter than me
do you say it deliberately
do you really think you're smarter than me
do you say it deliberately 
effin'you spoke to me this morning
I shut my ears off to you
don't think I mean to but
it happens anyway

it's just a habit that I
fall into each time I see you
don't think I mean to but
it happens anyway

well, don't try to change things
'cause that's the way it's gonna be, yeah
solitary in soul I am
probably forever

you've been here all my life
I shouldn't treat you like I do
I don't mean to hurt you
but it happens anyway

it seems to late to start again
besides what would I say
I don't mean to hurt you
but it happens anyway
 hang up babyyou keep me
you keep me hanging on

you keep me
you keep me hanging on
for so long
you keep me
you keep me hanging on

no matter what I say or do
I just can't get enough of you

your cell phone is
ringing all day long
you know that it's
me and not your mom
it wouldn't take
much to turn it on
but you'd rather just
keep me hanging on
 i love you when you're walking awayyou don't know what I know
but I can't say anymore
you gave it to me so
now I don't know what it's for

I love you when you're walking
when you're walking
away
walking away

truly
know me truly
 fatherhoodtoe-tapper
knee-slapper
you are the
funniest
person I know
back-stabber
for the matter
you're not so
honest I hope you know
honest I hope you know

my baby, she don't know
my baby, she don't know
but she don't know
and she don't care
about that
 the game's overso many people choose
to give themselves up to
defeat before the game's over
you're looking detached
you have a feeling that
standing in the bathroom will show her

I know that you are headstrong
I know that you don't want me now
besides you wouldn't last long
you know I'll wait
because how
because how I like you

she's coming over, I'd say,
from looking at you that way
you're blending right into the wall
if someone tried to hurt you
I never would desert you
all the way I'd shake my head and call

I know that you are headstrong
I know that you don't want me now
besides you wouldn't last long
you know I'll wait
because how
because how I like you

I won't have you believe
it's something that isn't real
I know how it makes you feel
you always seem so relieved
you think it's so natural
but infact it's so peculiar
    so peculiar

I know that you are headstrong
I know that you don't want me now
besides you wouldn't last long
you know I'll wait
because how
because how I like you
I know that you are headstrong
I know that you don't want me now
besides you wouldn't last long
you know I'll wait
because how
because how I like you
 scott pilgrimI've liked you for a thousand years,
a thousand years

I've liked you for a thousand years,    I can't wait 'till I see you
a thousand years                              I can't wait until I see you

you can't stand
to see me that way
no matter what I do
no matter what I say
you can't stand
to see me that way
yeah
 
 going so lowso there I was walking into the big store
with my hand in my pocket
I didn't look back
I didn't look back

'cause sometimes
you just gotta go on your own
yeah sometimes
you just gotta go

well the day that I leave's gonna hurt bad
but there's no other way
there's no other option
and I don't know whether it'll be worse
for me or for them
 
 why won't you stopthere's people all around me
but I can't help
from feeling lonely
you're gonna cry and ask her why
you'll been searching for an answer
it will evade you
you're gonna cry and ask her why

I know I don't make sense
all the time
or really ever
but the things I feel are what they are
I don't want to see the back of your head
the fact that your eyes are shy
make me happy
make me smile

so why won't you stop
stop trying to comfort me
you won't get off so easily
and why won't you stop
calling the family
'cause I know what you want
I know what you want

yeah,
it's not the meaning
it's just the seriousness of my life
behind the meaning
but behind the meaning of much reason
 your mouth shoots offif you wanted me to speak my mind
I'd speak my mind to you
and I'd try to see it through
you've felt that fear
for the thousandth time and you're
willing to shrug it off
either way you're much too soft
and I've been scared for a long time too
but I'm willing to fight with you
and it would be a bit to do

if you wanted me to speak my mind
I'd speak my mind for you
and I'd try to see it through
if you wanted me to speak my mind
I'd speak my mind to you
and I'd try to see it through

I felt my hands
tie them into this
and then look me straight in the eyes
and then still took me by surprise
I tried to be
complimentary but right now
I'm just appalled
but it can't hurt me most of all
    can't hurt me most of all
and it's all my fault
telling myself that
somebody's
waiting for me
I know
I know
somebody
if you ever decide to leave

if you wanted me to speak my mind
I'd speak my mind for you
and I'd try to see it through
I would
speak my mind to you
and I'd try to see it through
