I’m different than I used to be
I don’t follow you around
hoping you will give me back the key
I don’t grovel on the ground
Think what would I say
make up conversations
can’t we have a one to one
get up to your porch
ring the bell and run
I’m smarter than I used to be
but I gotta come clean
got a guilty conscience at the door
and it’s tearing at the screen
Sure I had to throw
teacups at your window
anybody home?
but why’d you have to leave me
sitting on the front lawn
sadder than a garden gnome
Still I’m better than I used to be
yeah I’m stronger than I used to be
I’m not working like a factory for you...
All I wanna do’s forget about that bad scene
hold you in my arms
run into the night, sing up to the street lights
set off all the car alarms
If I ever get my key from you
know exactly what I’m gonna do
make a promise to myself be true
this time.
