Left you a note by the bed saying thanks for the night Tripped on the phone as I left and I woke up the cat I took a long last look at you asleep on the bed I stole a paper from your neighbor for the bus ride back But things are never what they seem, c'mon Now hold your breath for what comes next This game of chess Where everything stays set And no one makes a move So no one gets upset And nothing breaks your heart No nothing shakes your bed Don't start me, Don't start me Outside on the streets on the 5th of July It was a better day to be a little bitter on the inside I turned a corner and the sun went blind I had a vision you were with me when the fireworks died But things are never what they seem, c'mon She's blushing red but what comes next Yet I confess The things you said The mess you left Your silhouette It's got me calling to let you know To let you know I won't forget
