Making you wish we never met
Won't solve a goddamn thing I know
I've got this lump in my throat
It's tearing me up like draino
Inhale you like gasoline
Feel my strength dissipating
Hold you inside of me,
'Til I am suffocating

(chorus)

And it beats waving a handkerchief
Goodbye, Goodbye
To a fuzzy face on a moving ship
New Guy, New Guy

These ties of ours,
They're supposed to blind me
to paper kites and bedposts,
not mistakes I left behind me
There's nothing right now
as tenuous as my kite string,
nothing as precarioius
as looking down on you when I am flying

(chorus)
