lyrics

I've been hanging around the college scene for a while but all I found
Was caviar and party clowns.
You know me or you don't.
I've never been all that loud.
I've been thinking about the way the culture deals with sex
And the specks of dust that make us up.
After all, I made this whole thing up.

I know how hard it is to find
The perfect kind of metaphor
For how it feels to be so sure
That nothing lasts.
I'm falling madly in love with Sylvia Plath.

I called it quits. My syntax fix hurt my heart.
Now I'll never try so hard to write a masterpiece of young adult fiction.
I want a poet. I want her sexy diction.
I want her to write me poems in her sleep.
I'm in so Goddamned deep.
I see her everywhere I go: in the punk rock clubs,
In the hippies' smoke,
In the Hobo Joes.

I know how hard it is to find
The perfect kind of metaphor
For how it feels to be so sure
That nothing lasts.
I'm falling in love.

C'mon and breathe.
Can you breathe in that bottle, baby.

I know how hard it is to find
The perfect kind of metaphor
For how it feels to be so sure
That nothing lasts
Because I'm falling in love.
