lyrics

This is not a love song
This is not a last goodbye
This is not a joke
I’m done with my days of fibs and lies and you
Cheetah in a cage
The sex was OK
But not really worth my rushing to you

I can show you mine
You can show me yours
And we can compare our notes
You can check my facts
And scratch my back
I hop on one leg
I’m waiting for the seasons and the wind to change
To knock you down
To knock you around

Uh-oh, I’ve been here once before
Me-oh-my
A thousand times before
Where is this coming from?
We’ll keep pretending there is nothing wrong
Uh-oh, I’ve been here once before
Me-oh-my
A thousands times before
Where is this coming from?
We’ll keep pretending there is nothing wrong

This is the fight
We should’ve had when we were younger
This is the house
We could’ve built when we were five
Here is the bark, the tree, the roots
And it grew and it grew
And it grew and it grew up
Here is the bucket
This here is the vessel that was chosen
To carry you bravely to the shore
Now that I’m older
Now that I am seeing you for what you really are
I will find the time
Any way that I can… to knock you around

Uh-oh, I’ve been here once before
Me-oh-my
A thousand times before
Where is this coming from?
We’ll keep pretending there is nothing wrong
Uh-oh, I’ve been here once before
Me-oh-my
A thousands times before
Where is this coming from?
We’ll keep pretending there is nothing wrong
