lyrics

If I was younger
A fraction younger
There are many things that I would change for thee
And as we fly above the sea
I fear for things I can't control
And alternate between your legs
And someplace very dark and cold

Oh Paranoia
Sweet Paranoia
With dads that hold their tasers close to roaming vets
What with the screaming in their heads
Their angry sonic silhouettes
While we would fuck in stranger's beds
And then try to sleep and forget

We're coming and going
All over and over and over and over
A smile and a nod and a tap on the shoulder
Try and then fail and then try and then fail again

Oh this hangover
This sweet hangover
I don't recall the reasons why you really fled
Maybe it was my innate dread
My tendency to sleep and moan
Comfort myself with eating you
The way I'd myself at home

If I was stronger
Just a fraction stronger
There are many things that I would like to do for thee
While struggling very hard to breathe
I try my best to be discreet
And sit in place while you would scream
On famous sidewalks and palm trees

We're coming and going
All over and over and over and over
A smile and a nod and a tap on the shoulder
Try and then fail and then try and then fail again
