[Verse 1]
You went on and on about the question marks that swirled around my head
I don't know about you but I don't like it
And you told all the stories of the sentences that people always read
I don't know about you but I don't find it
[Pre-Chorus]
Fair to sit around and watch as everybody else compares
The circumstance about circadian rhythm in the air
There are things I can't correct
There are things I can't repair
So don't you dare
[Chorus]
And it burns
The ampersand's the one that always hurts
You and them for better or for worse
I miss the days when I could make you stammer and pause
Why were so cruel in your clause?
[Verse 2]
You told me about the "if"s and "and"s and "but"s but I just couldn't stay
I've got a feeling that you enjoy it
You said all the "should've"s and "could've"s and "would've"s would catch up to me one day
I've got a feeling I can't avoid it
[Pre-Chorus]
But where am I supposed to go as everybody else compares
The circumstance about circadian rhythm in the air
There are things I can't control
There are things I can't repair
So don't you dare
[Chorus]
And it burns
The ampersand's the one that always hurts
You and them for better or for worse
I miss the days when I could make you stammer and pause
Why were so cruel in your clause?
[Bridge]
I wanna see the asterisks in the sky
I wanna see the asterisks in your eyes
[Chorus]
Oh, it burns
The ampersand's the one that always hurts
You and him for better or for worse
I miss the days when I could make you stammer and pause
Why were so cruel in your clause?
