I got a pre-exisiting condition
And now my day-to-day routine
Is ignoring all the warning signs
And attempts at getting clean
When the cosmic spinning surrounds me
And I prove to gravity
Even with my head on the floor boards
She still don’t disappear
I think it’s concreted in
I can feel it in my hip
As I’m skipping down that street I’ve walked a thousand times
And there was twice she followed
Bags, books and Ruby’s collar
Remember I said to my best friend
“You better take one last look”
‘cause she will not be back again
it’s like what Shakespeares saying with his
Romeo and Juliet
Oh no its not, you idiot it’s just
The part he goes to climb the hedge
And on the balcony there’s no Juliet
She must be out on the town
And I’ve been that tree falling in the woods
I fell so silently, I thought no one could
Hear my screams for miles around
But back in your home town
I let them rain an echo
Tried to shed my branches of their leaves
Hell, I thought it was concreted in
Now I just feel it in my hip
It’s just like what Shakespeare’s sayin’ with his
Romeo and Juliet
Oh no its not, you idiot it’s just
The part you think that she is dead
And just like Romeo you go kill yourself
Never knowing she was faking
Imagine if he waited
I was down for something more forever
That’s what you did to me
Digging round in the soil, looking for fruitful trees
Something for you and me
I was down for something more forever
That’s what you did to me
Playing with my soul right, girl?
I get a little sick of looking at the concrete screaming
“It’s all right boy just jump”
That’s what you did to me
I was down for something more forever
It’s what you did to me
I was down for something more forever
And I’ve been that tree
Falling in the woods
I fell so silently, I thought no one could
Hear my screams, can you hear me?
I’m sick of looking at the concrete screaming
