Arcadia

(album: Thanks For The Metal Sign - 2000)

See you walking down the hall
And I think how he has you
You're too good for him
And soon you'll be through
You fight every time we're all out
You look so beautiful in the dim light
Sad and thinking, will it last?
Yeah, what about this fight?
Yeah, what about this fight?...c'mon!

And it's been so long
Since we've actually talked
Just about what life's all about
And it's been two years (yeah, two years)
And we've both gotten older
Changed our personalities
Crossed the land and all the seas
I'm screaming can you hear me
Should I shout

You have to understand
It's not that I want you
I'm just concerned and wanting
To help you see too

Feeling like getting away
And going to paradise
Where all my troubles
Seem to melt from ice
Into the water I turn to cleanse my wounds
Well, then reality breaks through
And I'm left with nothing but you

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, ah...

And then he came and he acted oh, so nice
And he took you away from me
He never walked away, but he stayed for a long time
And he came and took your soul
Like a puppet in his control
Was it really that easy?
You have trouble understanding this concept
Look in the mirror it's my own voice that will reflect

Feeling like getting away
And going to paradise
Where all my troubles
Seem to melt from ice
Into the water I turn to cleanse my wounds
Well, then reality breaks through
And I'm left with nothing but you

See you walking down the hall
And I think how he has you
You're too good for him
And soon you'll be through
You fight every time we're all out
You look so beautiful in the dim light
Sad and thinking, will it last?
Yeah, what about this fight?
Yeah, what about this fight?

Feeling like getting away
And going to paradise
Where all my troubles
Seem to melt from ice
Into the water I turn to cleanse my wounds
Well, then reality breaks through
And I'm left with nothing but you...woah-woah...
