So did you go for it
or are you chickenshit
never mind, I already know the answer
life is full of cowardice and danger

and yes I lied to you
didn’t you want me to
I guess it’s just a case of miscommunication
it was going well until we killed the patient

The years roll past
spent thinking it won’t last
through the arguments and sleazy accusations
it might continue but it’s not a real salvation
it won’t, it won’t, last
it won’t, it won’t, last

And you went home with me
a god damned fantasy
but I guess we’ll say it really happened
I was the nice guy there at your party

what will the neighbors say
I think they’ll say it’s great
that is if they have any imagination
it was twelve years ago you said that
why can’t we say things like that now

The years roll past
spent thinking it won’t last
through the arguments and sleazy accusations
it might continue but it’s not a real salvation
it won’t, it won’t, last
it won’t, it won’t, last

Our friends are married now
their parents showed them how
our parents showed us too but we didn’t listen
and when they’re dead we probably won’t miss them

or perhaps we will
we’re not so different, still
I like to think there might be something about us
would the world would be any less without us
