You are the discordant composition
Written in your 20 years
A non-commitant melody
Dedicated to avoiding all of
Your hopes and fears
And all these people that you think will
Fix the song heard from your head
They never met you
They never kissed you
They never felt warm in your bed
I'm on hold
The telephone's disconnect tone
It is ringing, it is singing in my ear
Continental wires
They conspire against me
To keep me plugged into your head
Will they let me know you're cared for?
Will they let me know you're dead?
She says "Let's drive,"
"If I can make it out of this one alive,"
"I'll never ask you another favor"
She pleads through dilated eyes
And like the drive home
From a rock show
As the silence draws near
Will her absence leave me deafened
Replaced with a shrill high note of fear?
I'm on hold
The telephone's disconnect tone
It is ringing, it is singing in my ear
Continental wires
They conspire against me
To keep me plugged into your head
Will they let me know you're careful?
Will they let me know you're dead?
I'm on hold
The telephone's disconnect tone
It is ringing, it is singing in my ear
Continental wires
They conspire against me
To keep me plugged into your head
Will they let me know you're cared for?
Will they let me know you're heading home?

Never gonna be too high to notice
You're not around
Never gonna be sober enough to
Let my feet touch the ground
Always gonna be my
Always gonna be my
Favorite lover of energy
Always gonna be my
Always gonna be my
Favorite flavor of apathy
Never gonna be the one that you want
Eternally by your side
Never gonna be strong enough to
Let the whole thing slide
Always gonna be my
Always gonna be my
Favorite topic of sympathy
Always gonna be my
Always gonna be my
Favorite blanket of misery
If I was a superman
You'd be my kryptonite
Unable to solve this
Despite my super-might
And as the orange sun of hope
Drifts farther away
Beside my biggest enemy
Is where I plan to stay
'Cus failure's not an option
I'd prefer, I'd prefer
To keep holding on
There's a whole world out there
But I'd prefer, I'd prefer
To stay where I belong
