So we were on our way home

On the right bus

I just want to ask the driver

If it's not too much fuss

To drop me at the old lady's

And pick me up tomorrow

If you could, If you could



It's all by design

To keep me from losing my mind



Well I was on my way there

And it was just around the corner

I caught a funny stare and I started a fight with the owner



Well it's the whole nine yards

And I fold all my cards in your face, oh

'Cause I love what is real

And I loved you my dear

Before you were replaced

Oh, you were replaced



And it's all by design

To keep me from losing my mind



So I saw you over there

And acted like I don't care

'Cause I've never seen something that made me stare



Yeah, so then we run through your backyards

And throw all my best cards in your face

Yeah in your face

Because I love what is real

And I loved you my dear before I was replaced

I was replaced



And it's all by design

To keep me from losing my mind

It's all by design to keep us from losing our minds



We were on our way home

And we were on the right bus

I just want to tell the driver

Don't bother 'cause it's a bust
