Lyrics

Your three-ring circus failed.
All time pulled back your veil.
Owe nothing spontaneous.
I hate to know just when we?ll kiss.

I used to love her-
I used to love her-
But now she?s making sense
For the first time in years!
For the first time in years!

I said we should go away.
Take my car and run away.
She said, ?all you do is run!?
I replied, ?What?s wrong with that?!?

Why'd you ask?
I used to love her-
I used to love her-
But now she?s making sense
For the first time in years!
For the first time in years!

?Why aren?t we alive??
She asked me with a smile
I said, ?I think we are..
But I don't know, why do you ask?"

Why'd you ask? (I know what I know)
I used to love her- (And I feel what I feel)
I used to love her- (and I know that I know)
But now she?s making sense (that I'm trapped in this concrete shell)
For the first time in years!
For the first time in years!

Only now that we?re apart
You?ve realized you have a heart
You?re making up for your lost time
I cannot make up all of mine.
