lyrics

She invited you in, that's how it always begins,
to pretend that you were in love
Showed you her music and you tried not to laugh,
and you never quite knew if she noticed that,
but you laughed and you drank and you smoked just the same

Now you're eating fruit and doing molly on the floor,
but you don't know what for
You assess the situation, but nothing really seems to come to mind

You always knew that you were better than this,
but you stayed anyway -- because you thought, 'hey, what the hell,
she's alright, and her hair did something in the stage lights
Shining bright like a little star, is that not what we are?'

And when the spring came, you went --
I couldn't blame you, your time spent pretending you were
somebody you weren't, when it was somebody you were
You couldn't change me, I couldn't change you,
we're good in those scenes, but now that they're through,
the audience has left, we're just out yelling our lines alone

Now you're eating fruit and doing molly on the floor,
but you don't know what for
The girl is gone, the night's still young, can't help feeling a little dumb,
but you never hung with girls who did molly before

You always knew that you were better than this,
but you stayed anyway -- because you thought, 'hey, what the hell,
she's alright, and her hair did something in the stage lights
Shining bright like a little star, is that not what we are?'
