You

you never were much fun

you made me hide my eyes

you hit me like the sun

a life built on routine has replaced that of surprise

and i've been feeling better since i turned away my eyes

ever since you left me, i felt like i was new

and i haven't got much else to say to you

Poor me

stick around and you will see

poor me

poor you for listening

All i ever want is morning

all i ever get is night

all i ever want is boring

all i ever get is fright

all i ever want is the doctor's office lollipop

all i ever get is the tetanus shot

all i ever want is the feeling that i'm over you

all i ever get is not

I

i want an empty world

i never had a friend

i never had a girl

all these things i've never had before, now i've got in spades

and hearts, and clubs, and diamonds for fifty-two straight days

as i step up to the table, i find i'm unprepared

all i got is poker, all i want is solitaire

Now

now that we're apart

the party never stops

the boredom never starts

i haven't time to breathe now, that's why my face is red

as rings, and tones, and busy signals bounce about my head

savoring what's left of sleep as i am forced to rise

and figuring i'm not missing much, fall back and close my eyes
