Verse 1
She didn't mean to
deceive you believe me
But sometimes the
hardest part is conceiving
Refrain 1
The good intentions
that you had
Now only came to
this And although
she saw the mark
The arrow missed
Verse 2
It isn't exciting
reciting the stories
Of kind words turned hurting
when routine gets boring
Refrain 2
Both getting tired
of punk rock clubs
And both playing
in punk rock bands
The start was
something good
But some good
things must end
Interlude
---- x2
Verse 3
And she said "It
could never survive
With such differing
lives One home one
out on tour again
We may never come
back The strike of
a match The candle's
buring at both ends"
Interlude
---- x2
Verse 4
And now she knows too much
And I'm too fucked up
It's awkward trying
to make my move
I'll pretend that I'm
fine Show up right on
time But I know I'll
never be that cool
Refrain 3
I never wanted to hold you
back I'm just trying to hold
on But my chance is gone
Chorus
I know just where I stand a boy
Trapped in the body of a man and
I'll take what you're willing to
give And I'll teach myself to
live With a walk-on part
of a background shot
From a movie I'm not in
Interlude
---- x2
Bridge
She's so important
And I'm so retarded
Refrain 4
And now I realize
I should have kissed you in L.A.
But I drove home all alone
As if I had a choice anyway
Where are you coming from?
What are you running from?
Is it so hard to see?
And if you're feeling scared
Remember the time we shared
You know it meant
everything (everything)
You know that it meant
everything to me
You know that it meant
everything to me
