You only want all the good

Things that you have

But you threw them all out with the bathwater

Of the bad

Being with you is like

Smiling with my eyes shut

Oh, the feeling was real but I couldn't see it

For what it was

There, there

Now, now

I've stayed in one too many nights

Tied my back in knots

All dolled

Up with

No place to go for too many nights

Throwing one man's trash out

The other night I found myself

Laughing alone to the TV

I turned it up just until

I couldn't hear myself breathing

Cuz being with you is like

Driving with my eyes shut

Oh, I had to feel for the wheel but

I could not control the clutch

There, there

Now, now

I've stayed in one too many nights

Tied my back in knots

All dolled

Up with

No place to go for too many nights

Throwing one man's trash out

I'm overcome, I am

I'm overcome

With the need

To see a TV scene

I'm overcome, I am

I'm overcome

With the need

To see a TV scene

There, there

Now, now

I've stayed in one too many nights

Tied my loose ends up

All dolled

Up with

No place to go for too many nights

Throwing one man's trash out

Being with you is like

Driving with my eyes shut
