[Verse 1]Heavy-hearted, light-headedI had cold feet, I was hot under the collarWas eager for my slice of AmericanaPicket fence, 2.5 kids, back yard, pitch a tentI would pitch a tent, every time I pictured your magnificenceTook a whiff just to sniff your scentYou was heaven sent but I was hell-bent on helpingBut you haven't asked for my help, when I asked for myselfAnd your answer was withheldThat was bad for my healthYou just had to be held, I just had to rebel, we were just bound to repelSick and tired, intertwined for the time, it would tellEnough toying with my head, I don't know, head to tailsBut I know very well, things were going very well, ain't feeling what we feltI ain't like every man...Does she love me or she love me not?I asked the petals from her flower in the flowerpotBut now that flower's shotI had to cop another flower from the flower spotDoes anybody have a hunch when not to allow too much when you allow a lot?I want the key, I'm not empowered by the power lockWhile seeking insight in a tightened knotDont be surprised to find your insides tied in knotsI give you all I got, but is off the crutch? is it all a crook{?}?Why am I watching clocks?Why am I hatching plots?Why would I be so worried about pulling out if I was pulling out all the stops?Before I met you I was barely wearing matching socksBut now I actually sort them...We're like day and nightI'm not saying to be in love you have to alikeBut how can we be in love not even being like?You take anything as a slight{?} to think I'm out of lineWe're both stars and we're both bright but we are not alignedI used to think you was out of sight, want to make you mineNowadays I want you out of sight and out of mindSo I profess a lot of time in trying to turn the tideI think that was worth the tryI mean, I thought you were the perfect person on the birth trailSo there's my diatribesThrough these triumph timesI'm down to swallow prideBut I got to follow signs
