lyrics

Miss Halfway

You oughta hear the mirror in my house

You oughta fear her pretty, pretty mouth
Says I'm imperfect in every way:
"Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway"

All my friends in L.A. got jobs on Melrose Place
I play Replacements songs and sigh-- a Waitress In The Sky
You oughta hear the things I've been thinking
You oughta swim in a heart that is sinking
You try to break me with all the things you say:
"Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway"

Tony makes 60 K, invests in IRA's,
But I'm busy making paper airplanes out of resumes

But I'm gonna burn, I'm gonna shine and multiply
I'm gonna fill up the great divide
You'll never break me with all the things you say
"Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway"

I'm gonna burn a pie now and then
And I'm gonna say the wrong things to your friends
I'm gonna burn and shine and multiply
And when I do, you're gonna see me in her eyes...

I'm gonna burn and shine and multiply
I'm gonna fill up the great divide
You'll never break me with all the things you say
Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway
Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway
Miss Halfway, Miss Halfway, Miss Halfway
BACK TO TOP
Lovesick

A laundry list a mile long
I've got so much to do
No, I don't see that elephant standing in the room

And I keep telling everyone it's something like the flu
But I'm sick of feeling lovesick over you

You're gonna feel a little sting
A little like a prick
A heart without an arrow in it gonna make you sick

And I keep telling everyone it's something like the flu
But I'm sick of feeling lovesick over you

You say you love me, you'll never leave me standing all alone
Been 14 days and 50 drinks, I'm staring at the phone
What do you know?
What do you know?

I keep telling everyone it's something like the flu
They raised my rent, I lost my job—it's anything but you
You said you'd love me
You'd never leave me
Standing all alone

Where did you go?

'Cause I don't know...
No, I don't know...
