The Mouse and the Model

nothing is certain at this time of day
you could reverberate you could decay
the mouse and the model are laughing at us
we’ll risk it we’re desperate for someone to trust

let’s start a new heart
the new charts are in
we’ll take we’ll break them
and make them give in
by counting your blessings you wind up in debt
it starts with your family and ends in your bed
you jekyll and hyded when you could have let
your guard down your dress up you must be upset

let’s start a new heart
the new charts are in
we’ll take them we’ll break them
and make them give in
it’s dark over here on the flip side of reason
the teaser could be something easy like
“they did it in a book”
you’re a crook
you’re a fake
you’re committed
if you did it say you did it
if you didn’t
suck it up and say you did

let’s start a new heart
the new charts are in
we’ll tax them relax them
and mate them for fun

the vote by a landslide
for jekyll and hyde

5 & 1/2 Minute Hallway

I live at the end of a 5 and 1/2 minute hallway
But as far as I can see you are still miles from me
In your doorway

And oh by the way
When the landlord came today
He measured everything
I knew he'd get it wrong
But I just played along
'cause I was hoping that would fix it all

But there's only so far I can go
When youre living in a hallway that keeps growing
I think to myself
5 more minutes and I'll be there

Inside your door
But there's more to this story
Than I have exposed
There are words made of letters
Unwritten
And yes I forgive you
For leading me on

You can think of it like this
When you can't resist
I'm in your hallway standing on a cliff
And just when I think Ive found the trick
I'm tumbling
Like an echo

'cause theres only so far I can go
When youre living in a hallway that keeps growing
I think to myself
30 seconds and I'll be there

Daughter:
You never listen to me!

Father:
We cannot really experiment with love as freely as we wish
It is really a much more complicated topic.

There.

Tell me something. Something you've never told anyone. I'll screen the comments, and not reply, and everything.
