| 作曲 : Auer, Stringfellow | |
| Isn't it nice how things resolve | |
| To test your will would take the skill of crazy ants | |
| You fit your mind into smaller and smaller jars | |
| You find them clutching the last straw | |
| As if it's worth the worse for wear and tear you look | |
| But why try to understand someone that you don't even know | |
| Even though he brought you up, beat you up | |
| Shut you up when you cried? | |
| And now you avoid parties | |
| Because they remind you | |
| Of someone who you used to know | |
| Pretty soon you'll want to avoid yourself | |
| A popular phrase from the same year | |
| Would draw no tears save for the fears of looking back | |
| You find you hide for weaker and weaker reasons | |
| The battle you lost in the mirror | |
| Earned you no thanks but wooden planks were soon withdrawn | |
| And you couldn't run away even if you tried | |
| And you tried and you cried 'cause you knew that laying flat | |
| In your parents' car | |
| And now you avoid fathers | |
| Because they remind you | |
| Of someone who you used to know | |
| Pretty soon you want to avoid your own | |
| And now you're finally on your own | |
| You draw your choices from the voices you despise | |
| You find you're drawn to tighter and tighter circles | |
| Flashbacks, flashes forward | |
| You are insane though you have gained such wide appeal | |
| And all the car rides, cheap insides, laughter at the right people | |
| At the right time at the right line in the right frame of mind | |
| And now you avoid thinking | |
| Because it reminds you of someone you used to know | |
| Pretty soon you'll only think about yourself |
