Lyrics to Bored Like Me (Demo)
Please listen closely
I think you think you know what I want, but you don’t
To want to know me
Is to ask me to ask you to tell, but you won’t
And so we sit here
And talk in circles
Pointed politeness
Till we turn purple
Oh really, can we cut it all and break the walls and talk like we’ve been married forty years?
And so we dance, dear
Nose to nose but wanting to be mouth to mouth
Give it a chance, dear
Break the ice if there’s ice, or at least ask me how
Because we sit here
Both with this knowing
There’s something under
Forever growing
Oh really, can we cut it all and break the walls
And not talk like we’re married fifty years?
And if you love me, love me, love me...
Like I love you
Scrap the questions
Take off the masks
Let the curtain fall and lead me to the dark
I will not use this mouth for chatter anymore
I think you think you know what I want, but you don’t
To want to know me
Is to ask me to ask you to tell, but you won’t
And so we sit here
And talk in circles
Pointed politeness
Till we turn purple
Oh really, can we cut it all and break the walls and talk like we’ve been married forty years?
And so we dance, dear
Nose to nose but wanting to be mouth to mouth
Give it a chance, dear
Break the ice if there’s ice, or at least ask me how
Because we sit here
Both with this knowing
There’s something under
Forever growing
Oh really, can we cut it all and break the walls
And not talk like we’re married fifty years?
And if you love me, love me, love me...
Like I love you
Scrap the questions
Take off the masks
Let the curtain fall and lead me to the dark
I will not use this mouth for chatter anymore
