Flyer

I've got a lot to learn
A lot of things to stick in my mind
A lot of steam to burn
A lot of offers I should decline
I didn't mean to pry
I only wondered why
I never see you smile anymore

You say it's different now
But I don't see what you had to change
So let me know somehow
It shouldn't be too hard to arrange
You never liked to say
That things aren't going okay
So here's another chance to fall asleep

All right, okay, I know you say
You've done it a million times
Everybody picks up a flyer
Everybody throws it away
All right, okay, it's true, you say
I'm guilty of your crimes
Everyone I know is a liar
Everybody else is okay
I know that everybody else is okay

And so we drift away
Another friend that you couldn't keep
In time you'll rue the day
If that admission isn't too steep
So soon we'll say so long
So sad we were so wrong
So many times we could have said goodbye

All right, okay, I know you say
You've done it a million times
Everybody picks up a flyer
Everybody throws it away
All right, okay, it's true, you say
I'm guilty of your crimes
Everyone I know is on fire
Everybody else is okay
I know that everybody else is okay

And I need time to think
And I got time to think
It's too much time to think

All right, okay, I know you say
You've done it a million times
Everybody picks up a flyer
Everybody throws it away
All right, okay, it's true, you say
I'm guilty of your crimes
Everyone I know's getting higher
Everybody else is okay
I know that everybody else is okay
