Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listening in on everybody else
Talking about something meaningless
Wishing that someone would film the way I'm looking at you right now
I wanna watch it back and then kill myself
And I know it's not very sexy when somebody loves you this much and knows you this well
But it's the way it is
And I sense it's not the best time to be trying to fuck with your head and digging up old ground
So I squash it down
[Verse 2]
Step on up
Pay them no mind
You're alone with this one
And they're angry
Well, it won't do no good
Together with your problems, doll
Live alone, willingly (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
I've been thinking about our storyline
And how your past becomes your present if it's always on your mind
We played Dionne Warwick, "Walk On By"
And Freddy put his head between his legs and cried
[Verse 4]
Step on up
Pay them no mind
You're alone with this one
And they're angry
Well, it won't do no good
Together with your problems, doll
Live alone, willingly
[Verse 5]
Listening in on everybody else
Talking about something meaningless
Wishing that someone would film the way I'm looking at you right now
I wanna watch it back and then kill myself
[Verse 6]
Step on up
Pay them no mind
You're alone with this one
And they're angry
Well, it won't do no good
Together with your problems, doll
Live alone, willingly (Yeah)
[Verse 7]
Wishing that someone would film the way I'm lookin' at you
Film the way I'm lookin' at you
Film the way I'm lookin' at you
Film the way I'm lookin' at you
Film the way, oh dear
