she says she only looks at boys who look like me, am i supposed to feel good?

she says she's only touched by boys who feel like me, the kind who make her feel understood

and when i leave her home she's having parties in my head

while i'm in some hotel room in the midwest with a book i've already read 



should i trust you in your heart shaped glasses?

should i look the other way?

i can't laugh until this feeling passes, stare my fears in the face talk me down 



living here in this town you hear stories that make it hard to sleep

promises of fifteen years are broken in five minutes on a strangers sheets i just want to buy my girl some quiet, a place in nyack

but tonite i'm working four sets at the black thorn breaking my back 



should i trust you in your heart shaped glasses? 

should i look the other way? 

i can't laugh until this feeling passes, stare my fears in the face talk me down 



'cause i don't wanna believe, the love in your eyes ain't just for me

woman i gotta be the only one privy to your arms 



should i trust you in your heart shaped glasses? 

should i look the other way?

i can't laugh until this feeling passes, stare my fears in the face 



wont you help me? 

please, please talk me down
