Sit on a couch across from a shrink
Recounting the past four months
He?s trying not to laugh at us
He say?s that we should run
I take your hand, shoot him a smile
?Cause I?ll eat the words I?ve spoken
When reality shifts back to normalcy
And we all wake from this dream
Well, I?ll give you the fact that we met too soon
And yes, we?re both a little crazy
But I?ll give you everything I have
If you just say you?ll meet me
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I stand
Out back, out back, out back of the asylum
The asylum
Well, I?ve always said if you can?t laugh at yourself
Who the hell will you laugh at
We?re sifting through the sand
To find pieces of what?s left
And I?m holding out, I?m holding breath
I?m buying time until
The stars realign and we realize
We must wake up from this dream
Well, I?ll give you the fact that we met too soon
And yes, we?re both a little crazy
But I?ll give you everything I have
If you just say you?ll meet me
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I stand
Out back, out back, out back of the asylum
The asylum
Well, we shuffle up and down the halls
In thin, sheet-like gowns
Our asses hang out in the breeze
Neither of us caring
Hide bitter pills beneath our tongues
Content to rest in this
Content to lie in insanity
?Till we all wake from this dream
Well, I?ll give you the fact that we met too soon
And yes, we?re both a little crazy
But I?ll give you everything I have
If you just say you?ll meet me
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I stand
Out back, out back, out back of the asylum
The asylum
All a little crazy, crazy
Don?t wake me, don?t wake me
Meet me where I am, meet me where I stand
Out back, out back, out back of the asylum
