about

When there's nowhere left to lash out, you have to turn on the nearest and dearest.

lyrics

Funny, you call
My fault, seduced
My use: abstract
Just come back, honey

Mm, thanks, you croon
But this moon shall wane
What, refrain? hold still?
For a fill-in-the-blank?

Y'know, it's not my first attempt, so you might think I would learn
She said "It's sad if you consider it," but that's no concern
I guess I'd mind if the time were mine
But I'm just taking my turn

Your needs fulfilled
Thy will been done
"It's been fun and so
Just go home, plz"
But this time you're caught
Stretched taut, no outs
My doubts give way
So hey, take my dime

Y'know, it's not my first attempt, so you might think I would learn
She said "It's sad if you consider it," but that's no concern
I guess I'd mind if the time were mine
But I'm just taking my turn

Bridge:
It's a natural fact
You can't retrace
You can't retract from love-at-first-sight
When even obvious tricks
And open plays
Won't hide the sticks that keep you upright

Y'know, it's not my first attempt so you might think I would learn
She said "It's sad if you consider it," but that's no concern
You know, it's not my first attempt so you might think I would learn
She says "It's sad that you're so cross when there are bridges to burn."
I guess I'd mind if the time were mine
But I'm just taking my turn
