How easily all the dominos fell down
All by accident
Seemingly out of left field, unannounced
Everything just broke
I don’t know
If my heart will ever recover
You call me at three AM, Rachel I need some time
Always say how sweet I am, then Rachel you just swear that I’m
Selfish and maybe I am
Rachel don’t you understand
Rachel don’t you understand
I am no longer your man
Oh my god she’s loading the gun
Rachel please I knew I flew too close to the sun but
I won’t do you no more harm
How easily the world comes crashing down
Though not your intent
Seemingly I’m just a trashcan now
No it’s not a joke
All I know
Is that I’m not your lover
You call me at three AM, Rachel I need some time
Always say how sweet I am, then Rachel you just scream that I’m
Selfish and maybe I am
Rachel don’t you understand
Rachel don’t you understand
Rachel don’t you understand
I am no longer your man

Gonna get so high we’ll touch the highest summits

Gotta slip and slide on the dance flo

The Importance of Being

With the flash of a flare gun,
we’re all back to square one,
We’re nails on a chalkboard but ya don’t seem to care none
When you reflect on your past self
The lone book on the last shelf
There was glare from the Sun in your glasses then you slipped so fast and with that all the glass fell
The importance of being important to somebody else
If I say I need nobody I’d be lying to myself
With the flash of a flare gun
I’m back to one again
Our love has a beginning and middle but it’s missing an end
Oh the engine is running
And the rain is coming
Waiting outside of her apartment
Too much time a part spent - waiting
She erased my scars like brand new parchment
I couldn’t begin to explain how much that heart meant
I think she taught me I had a heart
With the flash of a flare gun,
we’re all back to square one,
We’re nails on a chalkboard but ya don’t seem to care none
When you reflect on your past self
The lone book on the last shelf
There was glare from the Sun in your glasses then you slipped so fast and with that all the glass fell
The importance of being important to somebody else
If I say I need nobody I’d be lying to myself
With the flash of a flare gun
I’m back to one again
Our love may have a beginning and middle but it’s missing an end

So, my early bird,
Your feathers got frayed
When you flew away
And you never got your worm
So, my turtle dove,
I got two of your wings
And these five golden rings
And I’m supposed to call this love
How, How does it feel?
How does it feel to know I won’t change for you?
To know I won’t change
You, flew from your nest,
You regurgitated lies
To your chick’s demise
And now there’s just nothing left
Chorus
You got my cold blood racing
Stood me up while it’s pouring down raining
Got a few things worth explaining
I’m sick and tired of your song baby

I used to think love was much like a puddle you step in
That may culminate in a wedding but ruin your Sunday shoes
But lately I’ve been doing some serious thinking, I caught the train last weekend
And ran through the rain for you
See I'm just like everybody else I don't think for myself usually
Louisiana could bow down, I’m so tired of you feeling down now
I just want you darling could you maybe want me
Let’s go down to the bayou in private
I think I might just buy you a diamond
I'll wring the neck of your ring finger
I only hope this moment lingers
I’ve been writing all of my nice thoughts in a letter
So that I can remember better, How you making feel
But sending my love doesn’t need any postage
All my thoughts wouldn’t fit if I wanted, Guess that was the deal

Sometimes the best response she can manage is
I can’t handle what’s being thrown at me
Surely all of this stress has it’s advantages
But lately that is yet to be seen
I got a pocket with a wallet in it
That is as empty as my promises it’s
a shame how days are just replays of the same vignette
But darling don’t give up on me yet
I’m don’t care if they lock me away
For whatever groovy thing I might say
My babe I’m afraid when you’re away-forget what life was like before we met
Oh darling, darling don’t give up on me yet
O lafola daa ling
The software’s done installing
I’m ready to be the man you need right now
A caped crusader with these bushy eyebrows
Just darling don’t give up on me and we’ll make it somehow
Just darling don’t give up on me now
Sometimes the best response she can manage is
I can’t handle what’s being thrown at me
Surely all of this stress has it’s advantages
But lately that’s yet to be seen
And when I grow up you know I want to be well adjusted and give in to change
Existence is expensive but your love is free and I can’t complain
It's no wonder why I waste all my time behind this computer screen
Used a ruler to connect the dots
Called me up to tie tight all loose knots
Knowing that the remaining factors will stay the same
It seems I’ve run out of hope
I feel like we’ve formed a negative slope
I know that you will never truly change
But if you work out us together there’s not a chance that you will stay
I used to be so understanding now I’m forever in a state
Of disbelief at what you do
Lie to me and all of your little friends too
I don’t know what to say to you
You used to go out of your way
To make me feel like we would never change
You seem to think that 2 minus 1 is still 2
