I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna join the ranks
Of all those other starry-eyed cartoons
Guess I'll just keep quiet about it
View the day through grey
And turn the contrast down on every happy tune

But it's a case of synesthesia
I'd do anything to please you
Every color leads me back to you

Now how did I get here?
How did I find you?
How did a skeptic go so wrong?
And how do I make it?
How did I go and
Write another damn love song?

There's so much to occupy us
Keep us fat and pacified
Each century writes its own epitaph
We're the frozen generation
Indifference stirred with hot impatience
Plotting our decline there on a graph

Same old story X and Y
I can't ignore, God knows I've tried
Keep tripping on the better side of you

Now how did I get here?
How did I find you?
How did a skeptic go so wrong?
And how do I make it?
How did I go and
Write another damn love song?

I'm not meant to be this light
I'm sarcasm and dynamite
God, it was so black and white before

The rags of night would dry my eyes
Collected murderous alibis
Not ready for that bright surprise you brought

So how did I get here?
How did I find you?
How did a skeptic go so wrong?
And how do I make it?
How did I go and
Write another damn love song?

How did I get here?
How did I find you?
How did a skeptic go so wrong?
And how do I make it?
How did I go and
Write another damn love song?
Another damn love song
Another damn love song
Another damn love song
