lyrics

Pretend you don’t know me—
Pretend that I’ve never said a word
Gather up all of my belongings and set them outside on the curb
Imagine what happened the first time our thoughts were overheard

I’m struggling through slumber
My mind winds into a knot
Twisting & turning every possibility I’ve got
Doubling over before I get the chance to take a shot

Strange ideas in the afternoon, weird sleep every night
when it feels like they’re after you, you’re probably right

There’s changes in the weather
Like you like to change the way you wear your hair
The changes in the world today have left us feeling unprepared
Rock and roll the windows down,
Let the sirens swim through the air

I’ve got a lot inside me
If you drive me I will drive you
crazy in the afternoon, weird sleep all night
because when it feels like they are after you, you’re probably right—
when at last the night takes over & you drift off to dream,
I’ll be behind the glass trying to find out what it means to have strange ideas
