Album: Please Make Me Paranoid

 

The curse of my observance is that I see everything

The curse of my observance means those bells will never ring

The little winks and smiles you give you think I never see

Keep me awake at night when you are fast asleep

 

The secret files upon your phone the ones marked ‘family’

The photos of your friends’ boyfriends I never seem to meet

The midnight calls that wake me up you say is a crank call

The thrill upon your face next morn when you look so reborn

 

 I wish that I was a paranoid so I could stay with you

Then I’d put my mind on trial instead of blaming you

You know life is hard enough than to sit and face the truth

Guess its fair to say that I’ll miss you

 

Working late, my auntie’s sick, I missed my plane again

Teambuilding exercises in the country this weekend

Away at golf those clubs you use they always seem pristine

No reception 19^th hole, do I really seem that green?

 

I wish that I was a paranoid so I could stay with you

Then I’d put my mind on trial instead of blaming you

Instead I’m just an android who listens to the truth

Guess its fair to say that I’ll miss you

 

Was a time when you kissed me, you would close your eyes

Was a time when your claws, cut my back alone

Came a time of headaches for which there was no medicine

Your drug of choice  was six feet tall

 

I wish that I was paranoid so I can stay with you

Hang old Logic out to dry, let him swing at noon

You know life is hard enough than to sit and face the truth,

Guess it’s fair to say I’m gonna miss you

 

Wished I was paranoid

Wished I was paranoid

Then maybe baby I could stay with you

 

So please make me paranoid

I feel like Harold Lloyd

Hanging off that clockface like a fool

I’m hanging off that clockface striking two
