[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?
