lyrics

Someone's gonna have to write this down again
I've been living in three year stretches and next month this one ends
I can't remember what's been going through my head one week to the next
And I wrote it down but it doesn't help
I can't relate to myself six months ago, or probably six months from now

Turn it over, pass it here, don't let it slip away
What have we here? Your secret identity
For acting out lives in your mind
Tell me, does it help? Or do you just second guess yourself?

Keep your head down, just try to get by
Your invention never made it and I think that you know why
You play your games when you're alone
I wish that I could be as happy as you seem
