lyrics

Is it just our fear of being alone?
A need for trust?
The fear of betrayal: love or bust?
Something beyond lust?

Every night going out to see and be scene
Falling for every variation on a theme
The loveliest of train wrecks
Oh the loveliest of train wrecks

Learning from your misadventures
Yearning for our misadventures
I wanna know the constellations of your skin

I’ve got to stare at my shoes to stare at you
And you're out shopping for the perfect little pedestal
I’ve got to stare at my shoes to stare at you
And you're out shopping for the perfect little pedestal

And I wonder if how I see you is how you see you
And I wonder if how i see me is how you see me
And I wonder if how you see you is how I see you
And I wonder if how you see me is how I see me

I'm so sorry babe!
I can't love you like you love me
I'm so sorry babe!
You can't love me like you love yourself
We just drink through our sickness
We can drink to our health

Whether it's from fright
Or from a fight
The man with the crooked nose
Always knows which way the wind blows
Come night come night, he'll take flight
The weather man is never right

And I wonder if how I see you is how you see you
And I wonder if how i see me is how you see me
And I wonder if how you see you is how I see you
And I wonder if how you see me is how I see me

I'm so sorry babe!
I can't love you like you love me
I'm so sorry babe!
You can't love me like you love yourself
We just drink through our sickness
We can drink to our health
