lyrics
You know when they first came through
You felt the start
Before they give the secret
It’s kept inside
Is it always easy
To pretend
Its always easy
To pretend you are
instead of know you are
And when the light comes crashing down
Across your warm red eyes
Youve seen the difference
And its getting better
Half the time
You know those childish answers
You know theyre true
Before they call the dancers
Its meant for you
Shes just like a breath of spring
In fall
You dont know anything
Not at all
Shes just like that
Silver springfield mall
You dont know
At all
What the trouble
With always seeing double
When you think of me in twos
My love
Soon comforts you
Out there
In the distance
Cold hearts will meet resistance
And you think of me in threes
My love
Cut off at the knees
Stacking bottles in your home town
Kissing models with that old mouth
Dont you know
Its never going anywhere
You know
Its never going anywhere
Shes just like a breath of spring
In fall
You dont know anything
Not at all
Shes just like that
Silver springfield mall
You dont know
At all
Is it always easy
To pretend
Its always easy
To pretend you are
instead of know you are
And when the light comes crashing down
Across your warm red eyes
Youve seen the difference
And its getting better
Half the time
You felt the start
Before they give the secret
It’s kept inside
Is it always easy
To pretend
Its always easy
To pretend you are
instead of know you are
And when the light comes crashing down
Across your warm red eyes
Youve seen the difference
And its getting better
Half the time
You know those childish answers
You know theyre true
Before they call the dancers
Its meant for you
Shes just like a breath of spring
In fall
You dont know anything
Not at all
Shes just like that
Silver springfield mall
You dont know
At all
What the trouble
With always seeing double
When you think of me in twos
My love
Soon comforts you
Out there
In the distance
Cold hearts will meet resistance
And you think of me in threes
My love
Cut off at the knees
Stacking bottles in your home town
Kissing models with that old mouth
Dont you know
Its never going anywhere
You know
Its never going anywhere
Shes just like a breath of spring
In fall
You dont know anything
Not at all
Shes just like that
Silver springfield mall
You dont know
At all
Is it always easy
To pretend
Its always easy
To pretend you are
instead of know you are
And when the light comes crashing down
Across your warm red eyes
Youve seen the difference
And its getting better
Half the time
