The Answer Lyrics

The Answer lyrics

Oh

If I can’t crawl inside of you

I’m laughing with a broken face

I stumble across my self-esteem

But your picture of pleasure is making me want my space

Understand

That God wrapped you like a bow

But in my head theres some shelves that need cleaning 

From basement to ceiling

Control



If what you’re seeing is an open book

That’s great, 

Well I’m an open book

But I’m real shy

Now there’s a part of me seeking

And desperately needing to open up

That’s strange

Cuz I’m an open book

A confused boy



I’m an automatic steeple 

For depressed and lonely people

My heart while in its cage

Is used to give and not receive a thing

But the only funny thing is 

That I don’t know how to give myself advice

I've got this post-dramatic thing

I've got this a tattoo of a ring

That lies around my wedding finger

And that’s where I want to state this claim

That I got to learn to live and dream 

Before I go and get myself in love

in love

Before, before I go and get myself in love



There’s Zoloft, Wellbutrin, theres Paxil thats proven

no side effects

But the rest left unnamed

Cuz they work like a charm for me

But when your savings is drying

You can’t stop from crying

You've got to suck it up

You’re not her butter cup

You’re not her favorite book



And I’m an automatic steeple 

For depressed and lonely people

My heart while in its cage

is used to give and not receive a thing

But the only funny thing is 

That I don’t know how to give myself advice

I've this post-dramatic thing

I've got this tattoo of a ring

That lies around my wedding finger

And that’s where I want to state this claim

That I got to learn to live and dream 

Before I go and get myself in love

In love

Before, before I go and get myself in love
