I’ve figured out what’s going on
Turns out it’s not incidental
I know the way back to the point
Where things went south
My crooked name
On a dotted line
If I disappoint you can
Change your mind
No easy out
If we carry on
‘Til we both start
To believe it

When you’re alone
Do you feel relieved?
Self-victimized
Chronic motif
Lay down the law
Just to grind your teeth
At the steering wheel
Take something strong
Help you fall asleep
Guess you figured out
that no talk is cheap
Red neon sign
For a vacancy
So I pull in

Now I’m taller than
The fence you built
To keep me in
You look so harmless
You’re not as tough
As you might think
From your vantage
You must feel like
You hold the key
But when I’m standing
The table turns
So take your seat

I’ve narrowed down
The warning signs
Face to your neck
Turn red and lie
No other name
Can make you stop
To catch your breath
Fix up the bed
I’ll take the couch
I’m growing long
You start to slouch
I catch you then
One morning still
But I don’t speak

Now I’m taller than
The fence you built
To keep me in
You look so harmless
You’re not as tough
As you might think
From your vantage
You must feel like
You hold the key
But when I’m standing
The table turns
So take your seat

Old habits die
Don’t wait around
The moment’s up
The growing’s done
You feel yourself
On solid ground
You’ll live it down
Don’t wait around
Old habits die
Don’t wait around
The moment’s up
The growing’s done
I’m better now
On solid ground
I’ll live it down
Won’t wait around

Now I’m taller than
The fence you built
To keep me in
You look so harmless
You’re not as tough
As you might think
From your vantage
You must feel like
You hold the key
But when I’m standing
The table turns
So take your seat
