Lyrics

i knew what you would say
but i asked you anyway
and I needed a place to stay at
and you needed a housesitter to watch your place

I saw you change
I noticed right away
You leave to all the paupers on the street
or you could give me some kind of proper hiding place
and I promise not to

throw a rager, you know.
have some people over
get stoned
hire strippers
call your hoes
everyone whisper
no one will know

but you noticed the furniture'd shifted
I should've seen it from a mile away
thought at least we'd make it
through the fall, but curtains called
everybody don't go crazy on me baby
everybody don't go crazy at all

I thought you'd changed
I noticed right away
You didn't leave to all the paupers on the street
yeah you gave me some kind of proper hiding place
but guess what I did?

I threw a rager, you know.
had some people over
got stoned
hired strippers
called your hoes
everyone whispered
still you found out

I just couldn't believe
you were about to find out
that it just wasn't working
between you and me, no,

I couldn't escape
no I couldn't get out
and there's no logic in it
there's no vacancy here

(I just)

couldn't be me
and it just wouldn't work out
you don't like watching twin peaks
I've know every episode by heart

You don't eat meat
I just eat everything
You're quarterback of your team
and I'm a deadbeat, so

so contemplate
the way to say it
