Story Behind The Song
All about being a sucker. Written long after a break up during a moment of supreme clarity that is rarely reached unless a lot time has passed by. There's regret but there's not doubt that the singer was the victim and isn't afraid to admit it.
Song Description
A favorite of Jeff's as an opener because of it's pulsating choruses and sparse verses. Power chords in lock step with self deprecating lyrics and nasty drums and a tastefully placed scratch loop and thick keyboard patch..

Lyrics
Like This
you've broken the bond
you've fractured the trust
crushed all hope for both of us
can you tell me when our signals got crossed?
what did you win? what have we lost?
(CHORUS)
i've never felt so out of control
so sure of the ending but you-re-wrote it all
was it something i said?
a signal i missed?
i should've known i'd lose it all to a girl like this
drunken with love
thought things were alright
addicted to the thought of being bound so tight
what a sucker i was j
ust ignoring the signs
i would have forgiven you a hundred million more times!
CHORUS
clueless we play
bringing fate to it's knees
hard luck victims just dying to break free
CHORUS
