ten-twenty-ten

when i need it so badly i come to defend

is there any way to tell me that you're gonna be a terrible friend

you remind me of a distant constellation

the way you color it up

but don't let me touch

so now you want to know is that important

well maybe now and it just depends

it just depends

and when you come back uptown remember not to look for me there

i give you one more chance to make it better but you don't seem to care

you pretend to be accosted by tradition

and now you cover it up

and tell me you don't

well now you want to know is nothing sacred

and i don't want to have to compare

they don't compare

when i see your friends they say it's in my head

all my friends seem to think you might leave me for dead

don't remember if it's coastal complication

it keeps leaving it out and color it up

and if you want to know i won't confront you

with all the stupid things that you said
