i've got a little black book that tells all your secrets,
and i'm not afraid to let everybody know
that you were late last month and it wasn't because of me.
and my, my, how exciting this becomes
to know that love has exceptions
so, i'll turn towards the camera that's not there
and smile as wide as my face can.
the house shakes brilliantly and
everyone inside is still asleep.
give unto you my words complete.
i swear my youth had escaped dreams.
one day, we'll forgive those verbs and nouns
and practice and preach until you come around
some buttons undone and a lover's clause
well, you had the world right in your claws
sour, it gets when it grows old,
that penchant for the perfect mold.
if relationships just come along,
well, then, here's to always being wrong.
the house shakes brilliantly and
everyone inside is still asleep.
give unto you my words complete.
i swear my youth had escaped dreams.
and if our love was like a volcano,
you know it would melt the sun,
and i wouldn't at all mind the darkness,
if it meant it was dark with you.
and if our love was like a volcano,
i'm sure it would end some lives,
and i wouldn't at all mind the bloodshed
if it meant that you just told the truth.
