Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Creeping 'round my house at dawn
I'll keep my curtains closed
If you're feeling fond of feeling wrong
Fully clothed
[Verse 2]
For a second time you're on my mind
Planted on this still
You forget I do not pay in kind
Kind's not there
[PreChorus]
For the eyes to see through
All that I do
[Chorus]
For instance, I don't have to try
I'm falling over all the right lines
We only have to leave this last
Resist all falling at the wrong times
[Verse 3]
Safe in knowledge, safe in college
I know all there is to know
To have never stepped outside this ring
Fools they flow
[Verse 4]
For the self-assured I have no cure
I only wish I was
As my entertaining thoughts grow fewer
Stills my cause
[PreChorus]
For the eyes to see through
All that I do
[Chorus]
For instance, I don't have to try
I'm falling over all the right lines
We only have to leave this last
Resist all falling at the wrong times
[Bridge]
For the accent, for the day
Don't walk just swim
And the incidents they'll happen and they'll happen anyway
Let's go and dance
When you leave here, leave this way
One last request
You are far enough to be impressed
But not so far to be depressed
Drink your souvenirs and go your way
[Chorus]
For instance, I don't have to try
I'm falling over all the right lines
We only have to leave this last
Resist all falling at the wrong times
[Outro]
For instance, I don't have to try
I'm falling over all the right lines
We only have to leave this last
Resist all falling at the wrong times
