Music Over Girls

And I've known a girl like you before
She pulled sad words out of my mouth
But when my eyes close out the light
The vision of you is my first sight
Tie back the locks of silky hair
Remove the makeup from your eyes
Let me see that there's a real you beneath the carefree LA disguise

Why would you be anything but impossible to read
Why would you go out of your way to show attention to me
Why should I expect any of this is worth it
Why do I expect more from you
I only expect less

The crazy idea this song represents
Is the pattern of our relationships
We strive to learn from past mistakes
If only for our sanity's sake
Maybe it's not a pattern at all
But my type is just incompatible
So I yearn to make more of my life than simply searching for a wife

Music is the air hole poked in the box I'm sitting in
Music is a glass of water after an all night smoking binge
Music is the release when a girl I like raises doubt
Music is my only way out
Music is my only way out
Yeah

I've known a girl like you before
I won't let sad words slip from my mouth
I'll stop this while we're still good
Stripping your ability to try to opt out
I'll end this song on happy tones
Music is more to me than you'll know
Music is life
It keeps me going through good times and bad
And through all the lovers I'll have
