Everything isn't always what you think it is in life, ahuh

Sometimes...

He used to run in circles though his world's not round

'til she took his hand and led him to the barriers of passion

Climbing the steps to mind sex is how they got down

She knew his hunger but she only thought to serve him prison rations

Walked with a switch but no one seemed to turn her on

They couldn't find it to operate her main frame circuitry

He was the F word in her vocab, a shoulder to cry on

And she was the only one that never asked the meanings of his songs

She liked ice skating, jazz clubs, card games, and wino

He's hesitating to shed blood from these veins of time

He was falling 'til he chose to pick up his feet and walk

No more crawlin' while pluckin' from sound gardens when they talked

Every stop light fueled his plight reflecting where he stood

Though he tried to reason with god and he tried knockin' on wood

Every step that he took got him closer to the edge

As he choked on the liquifying of all the words he said

He didn't want to admit his feelings, tried to hide 'em up his sleeves

But the butterflies made a nest in his mind and wouldn't leave

She always introduced I love you's and they were met with same reply

Always asked if he would come over when she needed to cry

He knew he didn't want to, but he said yes with a sigh

Wondering if tonight she'd make a move and if she didn't why

She never gave him any signs that she was interested

But gave a great massage prompting the rise of his instrument

But that was it, she never took it any further

In his mind, this friendship's capsized the water was gettin' colder

So one day on his way home he made a U and headed back

Cause he needed to get a few bricks off his chest, so with that

He tapped on the door, took her a while, but she let him in

She was in her robe, incence was lit and scented candles were burning

She asked what was wrong, he asked if she was busy

Cause the thought of her with another man, made his head start spinning

Then he heard a voice from the bedroom and his mouth dropped

Saw a figure start down the hall then his heart stopped

The figure came closer, he couldn't believe what he saw

Felt like the pig that built his sanity from straw

It reached the end of the hall, he didn't know where to begin

And she was like, by the way, I never introduced you to my girlfriend

Life isn't always what it seems, most dreams can turn to nightmares

You try but you can't achieve, even though your goal is right there

Love isn't always in your reach, you try to teach but you won't survive

So many times you know you should speak, but you didn't think the relationship would capsize

Life isn't always what it seems, most dreams can turn to nightmares

You try but you can't achieve, even though your goal is right there

Love isn't always in your reach, you try to teach but you won't survive

So many times you know you should speak, but you didn't think the relationship would capsize

Life isn't always what it seems

You try but you can't achieve

Love isn't always in your reach

So many times you know you should speak

Capsize
