It's not that I don't trust you
I just know what you've been up to...
Well this dial tone is agreeing
With everything I've had in mind
And you've got your high as a
Kite tricks in the bag

So as his eyes move past your shoulders
And your shades start movin in the same direction
Don't worry, I... well I won't say a thing
And you can't blame a girl for sticking to what she knows
(You can't blame a girl for sticking to what she knows)

Hope he takes his time and
I hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves, you still...
You still smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
(Just go...)
Hope he takes his time and
I hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves, you still...
(Just go...)
You still smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can

If I could get to sleep then,
I guess you could stop pretending
'Cause if I didn't think you loved it
Well then I wouldn't play along and
You've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag
(You've got your high as a kite tricks in the bag)

Hope he takes his time and
I hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves, you still...
You still smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can
(Just go...)
Hope he takes his time and
I hope he keeps your eyes closed tight and
Hope that when he leaves, you still...
(Just go...)
You still smell him on your sheets
'Cause I can, I can

You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb,
It's cool 'cause I let you,
Thought I'd never catch you...
You'd say "we're only friends"
Yeah, real good friends
I bet, I bet

You're down for selling me out
While I play dumb,
It's cool 'cause I let you,
Thought I'd never catch you...
You'd say "we're only friends"
Yeah, real good friends
I bet, I bet

You're down for selling me out
(You're down for selling me out...)
While I played dumb,
It's cool 'cause I let you,
Thought I'd never catch you...
(It's cool because I let you...)
You'd say "we're only friends"
(...I let you...I let you...)
Yeah, real good friends
I bet, I bet

Forget your legs around my hips
(You're down for selling me out...)
Forget your hands pressed on my back
Forget the letters that I kept
this is another I won't send

(Just go...)
Forget your lips, your eyes, your thighs
(It's cool because I let you...)
Forget our one last kiss goodbye
(Just go...)
Forget me staking out your house
(Just go...)
Forget I've got you figured out
(Just go...)

Forget your legs around my hips
Forget your hands pressed on my back
(Just go...)
Forget the letters that I kept
this is another I won't send

    General Comment:This song is amazing!! His voice wasn't great but w.e great fucking lyrics and love the instrumentals. These lyrics I think hit a lot of people too close to home for a lot of people, me being one of them. Last minute or so is unbelievable. No other band can have as anthemic endings like TBS.

    General Comment:One of the first TBS songs I ever heard. I've been in love with the song forever. I went through like the same exact situation and this song had it completely word-for-word. I have no idea how these guys come up with perfect music with lyrics that relate to us all.

    General Comment:This a great song. I mean, when you're in the situation that the song is about, it's totally devastating, & absolutely heartbreaking. But then you just blast this song over & over & over again, & cry to it, & sing along, & you know you realize that you're not alone. This is a very powerful song.
