the plant mouth

Fret through the snow
I wanna know how to beat this
And you're the only one I know
Who can let me in on the secret
Under pretense that I can't afford to see you, only weekends?
When we both see the bend
But we can play pretend, pretend, pretend

And I was right up front
I watched it all go down
Those invisible things
You were figuring out

And you put on a front
Just laughing on about
Some classic joke I told
About your favorite noun

You said I'm always looking for disaster
But I know just where to look
And I'm shook, I'm shook, I'm shook

'Cause you were the one I was waiting for
You were the one I was longing for

(You were the one)
(You were the one)
(You were the one)
(You were the one)
(You were the one)
(You were the one)

And I was right up front
I watched it all go down
Those invisible things
You were figuring out

And you put on a front
Just laughing on about
That classic joke I told
About your favorite noun

And I will die alone
And that'll be just fine
But every time we make love
She turns off the lights

Thought I had discovered
Something to curb the pain
But every time I detour
It all ends the same
