(If I'm Not) Mistaken

car alarms are blasting
parading in the night
keeping up the neighbors
but i've been up all right
working out the puzzle
you left inside my head
the neon lights are trouble
but I can't go to bed
cuz you've got me pacing,
racing 'round the room
my eyeballs are aching
airtight and foolproof
I watched you stiff and silent
through a haze of hot chain-smoke
well, if that's your answer
the question is a joke
now you've got me pacing, racing 'round the room
if I was a time bomb, I already blew
if I'm not mistaken, I told you the truth
poetry's aloof now
to this tired tongue
all I've got is prose
but this verse has left me numb
one place left to go when
the truth gets you nowhere
one place left to go when
you're tearing out your hair
cuz you've got me pacing,
racing 'round the room
truth can fool the eyeballs
but I'll never fool you
You watched me talk 'til sunrise
and your head never turned
I watched you make decisions
without a single word
now you've got me pacing, racing 'round the room
if I was a time bomb, I already blew
if I'm not mistaken, I told you the truth

deep inside your lover's head
down below the words that you once said
lies an ocean floor
and while you rest on her seabed
the Atlantic coast is where she heads
and she'll crawl upon its shore
and slowly bury you in sand
wave goodbye as you submerge in land
and she will be free forever more
but when you find your way back
to that ocean floor
when you find your way back
you won't find what you're looking for
way out beyond montauk point
lies the truth that always disappointed you
you should have never let her go
but ain't that sunset pretty now?
ain't her beauty something to avow?
and she'll never rise for you again
when you find your way back
to that ocean floor
when you find your way back
you won't find what you're looking for
when you find your way back
to that ocean floor
when you find your way back
you'd better think it over

darkness falls and so my love
i feel a little bit colder
cuz my guitar won't sing for me tonight
and these chords don't sound the same
and these words- they sound so lame
because heartache brings out all the worst cliches
the night sky cries and so do I
I know it's finally over
my cellphone gasps its dying breath
and I am left on the shoulder
what would you sacrifice to know
that things will be better?
I still want to turn this around
without ever having to turn my back on you
you stood at your doorstep
as I rolled away so slow
that's the last time I saw your crystal eyes
and I know that they've been shattered since
but it's the one thing I can't fix
i will try to share my love
as we both get older
time will tell if you'll share yours with me
but my heart don't feel the same
and my thoughts they seem insane
as I step out of this car into the pouring rain
you stood at your doorstep
as I drove off for new york
that's the last time I saw your crystal eyes
and I know that they once sucked me in
and I was helpless to resist
I know that they've been broken since
but it's the one thing I can't fix
i blame you for nothing
except for what you are
and to me that's everything

in a way this never happened
in a way it almost did
in a way I found my ego
and in a way a lost my id
in a way I found my silence
while they were screaming in my ear
and in a way I found my comfort
while I was writhing in my fear
it's only mind games
it's only war
in a town full of liars
you are stone
and even though you you stand beside me
I am nothing but alone
in a way count my blessings
the same way I count my sins
and in every single way you've ever counted on me
I never let you in
it's only mind games
it's only war
in a town for of liars
you are stone
and in a town full of pyrite
you are gold
and in every single way you've ever counted on me
I've left you alone
in a way this never happened
in a way it almost did
in a way I found my ego
and I'm still searching for my id
