Subtitles

(アルバム： That Could've Gone Better - 2003)

These days I feel like I'm watching a movie
With subtitles, only I can't read the words
You do your best to make sure I understand you
But these boring topics always seem so absurd
And more and more I find I don't get the meaning
But I do appreciate your likable appeal
Say you're trying to drive us in the right direction
But I get the feeling you're falling asleep at the wheel

So, don't tell me you will, when you know that you won't
Don't say that you do, when you know that you don't
Cause the more that you give, for the less that I get
And the more that we share, is the more I regret

'Cause I don't have much to believe in
That's why I am always counting on you
I don't have much to believe in
But if I did, ya know I'd be doing it for you

These days I feel like I'm talking to no one
It's 'cause I'm usually not
Keep pushing for a brand new beginning
You can't release me when I haven't been caught
You keep saying that I'm just getting stranger
That you don't even know what I stand for these days
I'd like to say, don't worry we'll get through it
But I get the feeling that this isn't just a phase

Don't tell me to yell, when you want me to whisper
Don't spin the bottle if you don't want to kiss her
Closer we get the further I feel
The less that we fake the more that seems real

'Cause I don't have much to believe in
That's why I am always counting on you
I don't have much to believe in
But if I did, ya know I'd be doing it for you
