I know a girl that wont cry and she knows a friend of mine. They've been going through a tough time, but they're still together. I'm not afraid to die, and I never could quite figure out why there's no fear in the eyes of those who could do better. I want you like a thorn in the side, and you're pulling me in by your tides. I've had my doubts, but we'll give it a try. I think that would be better. In this world, be pleasant or smart. You can have a lot of friends, or you can have a lot of heart. Not 'til we invent the art can we be together. ♪ I speak for me and I know I should. I'd let you take me if you could. I'm just a boy that's made of wood, I wonder who's holding my strings. I wrote a letter to myself blaming everything on everyone else. I sent it to the return address 'cause the writer was a liar. I want you like a thorn in the side, and you're pulling me in by your tides. I've had my doubts, but we'll give it a try. I think that would be better. In this world, be pleasant or smart. You can have a lot of friends, or you can have a lot of heart. Not 'til we invent the art can we be together. ♪ I've got pages hanging on the wall and they say a lot by saying nothing at all. My life is starting to snowball, and I'm sliding down the hill. I'm held together with twist-ties, and another reason gone is another reason why. I can't find a place to lie, so I'll go sleep in the yard. I want you like a thorn in the side, and you're pulling me in by your tides. I've had my doubts, but we'll give it a try. I think that would be better. In this world, be pleasant or smart. You can have a lot of friends, or you can have a lot of heart. Not 'til we invent the art can we be together.
