I'm further than a mess My emotions are just madness
And everything he said to me was miles from the truth
The ocean makes a crashing sound but I'm so furious
What seems distant is washing up right here
The lights are swinging above my head
Envelope in my hand but it's nothing I haven't read
You heard the story on the news after she called you from the corner
She didn't seem so well but you hadn't cared at all
Flashing lights filled your front lawn
Now you really wished you never got involved
The lights are swinging above your head
Envelope in your hand but it's nothing you haven't read
It's a catalyst of awkward situations
Keep your mouth shut and you can't cause no harm
Is it all so true? Or is it just ridiculous?
what seems real fails to be pointed out
The lights are swinging above our heads
Envelopes in our hands
