When you want to be alone Just say so And I won’t be there No, I won’t Be there I won’t No And I won’t be there No, I won’t be there. When you want me to drive by I’ll try…I’ll try When you want me to drive by I’ll try but I might honk a few times And I won’t be there No, I won’t Be there I won’t No You were laughing with a friend I didn’t mean to make it end But I had to talk to you about something serious Then you lost your ride and You were furious I wish I was a better lyricist Oh no! When you want to buy a house I’ll let you pick it out When you want to buy a house I’ll pay and you can pick one out And we will live there Yes, we will live there We will Yes! We will live there Yes, we will live there

For the record I’m not one to reenact or counteract I would never want to bust your chops And nothings sweeter than you when you’re sweeter than usual My sweet I’m done with deciding I know that you’re the one for me I’ll try to stay with you As difficult as you can be You’re not easy but I guess nothing really ever is In this world, in this town, in this house And I’m in love and you’re in love and love is just enough To get by Chorus Buy me a rose even though I’m not a girl But I like it, and it’s pretty Pass the hour being sour, being so relentlessly Set upon weighing down the night I don’t know how to turn your frown upside down, guess I’ll have to stand on my head

Throw me down and then you’re willing to pick me up Go leave town but then you’re happy to ring me up Give a haven for my scary thoughts I would have lost Applauding audience for all my stupid pratfalls Go to sleep so I don’t wonder what you’re thinking about Make a sound and freak me out Make a sound and freak me out Make a sound and freak me out Eat my time by bringing up everything I mind Make a face like you were waiting all day in line Walk your fingers like a little guy across my hair Watch where you step I bet I left a mess of wet sweat there Chorus Pour me in and then you’re liable to spill me out Tuck me in and then you’re waiting to drag me out Follow up a thought with slapping hands hysterical Make me dinner when you know that I’m already full

The walk home from the subway’s Been covered many times now And if so that’s just because I haven’t figured much out Nothings attractive to me I think I like how that sounds A well worn path on the ground leads me right to where I’m… Home to deal with you, going Home to deal with you If Im feeling happy Then everything is catchy But if I'm feeling sad Everything just lags And god I hate the city I just don’t think it fits me But I think Queens is pretty Pretty fucking shitty Home to deal with you, going Home to deal with you Home is where the – WHAT? Home is where the –WHAT? Home is where what? I come in through the door and Sit down on the couch The corner of my eye You’re by my side Pillow in your place A pillow for your face A pillow on your face You take up space A pillow on your face You take up too much space You take up too much space YOU TAKE UP TOO MUCH SPACE

Never thought that this would happen to me If you look to my left you’ll see Life has been one big beautiful dream Nothing left for me to do it seems Slip on my robe Nowhere to go, so… I ran out of room, so I ran out of room I don’t have enough arms to grab my things I wish I could take it all with me I’ve seen every movie left to see All my favorite bands have gone to seed No more firsts Nothing lasts… Can’t stretch it out Can’t even shout
