i surfaced in the backseat
and i don't know if the dashboard is showing the way
i like christmas lights in may
everybody wants to be a superstar
i wanna be a supercar
i wanna fly down the road
don't forget what you intended to remember
when every side surrenders
and you're left with all the rifles and you say
never wanted to keep you out
only wanted to keep me in
i like the way you say
i like the way things break
i said nothing is the same way without you baby
lies and lines are petrified in settled stacks of unlit signs
censored billboards waiting in the gray
photoelectric miracles will turn those lights up any day
you see...
never wanted to keep you out
only wanted to keep me in
i like the way you say
i like the way things break
stare the cracks down in the bedroom where they streak the ceiling
picture things coming through some lonely night when i can't move
buried slowly under a million tons of moon
snap up bits of fractured life floating there and call them truth
never wanted to keep you out
only wanted to keep me in
i like the way you say
i like the way things break
and i'm shattered there
under things i fear
and you stare and stare
cause you like the way i...
break
break
