lyrics

I don't know why
They write you down on paper and they call it good
Somewhere along the way, yeah we misunderstood
Calling ourselves kings, as if we could
I don't know why
It's not that I have ever really cared bore
It's not that I would like to go settle the score
It's just that you have left me wanting more
I paint the stars, chase the full moon in my PJs back to where you are
I'm dancing with the virgin on a whim
I'm dancing, giving all I've left to give

...

I'm not your kin
I'm no one's kid, and father I have never been
It's only towards myself that I have ever sinned
If you destroy yourself, the things that you hate win
I don't know how
I never will and I have learned to love that now
I've lost it at the sights of my new eyes
I have life to live and everything to eulogize
My tangoes are forever in your name
I'm tangles of rust and oxygen and shame
In love with the infinite unknown
I'm grateful for the piece of it you've shown

Through the two ears on it
Its mother and its father never knew he had a friend like that
Not in a song
