lyrics

Album title:

(verse 1)
so i asked her, i asked her
"how are you livin' like this, livin' like this?"
she said: "don't you remember it?"
I said "but i'd rather get a break than a fix, by know you know."
she said:
"i wish i felt the same"
"but if i met you two years ago, i wouldn't remember your name"

(chorus)
i ain't been the same since 2003,
and now i'm scared of everybody who's smarter than me,
and i can't stop thinking 'bout the words that I wanted to say,
she's got a tattered jacket and sordid past,
and i'm so sick of love that just sort of lasts
i guess i didn't know me anyway
i guess i didn't know me anyway

(verse 2)
so i told her, i told her
i could never run back, never run back
every day i wake up to a geiger count
oh lord, why do we love what we lack
i'm getting back to my ways
have't learned my lesson yet
even though i may seem out of breath
you'll never see me sweat
cause i said

(chorus)
i ain't been the same since 2003,
and now i'm scared of everybody who's smarter than me,
and i can't stop thinking 'bout the words that I wanted to say,
she's got a tattered jacket and sordid past,
and i'm so sick of love that just sort of lasts
i guess i didn't know me anyway
i guess i didn't know me anyway

[crazy synth solo]

(chorus)
i ain't been the same since 2003,
and now i'm scared of everybody who's smarter than me,
and i can't stop thinking 'bout the words that I wanted to say,
she's got a tattered jacket and sordid past,
and i'm so sick of love that just sort of lasts
i guess i didn't know me anyway
i guess i didn't know me anyway
