Something Corporate

I can't imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
when the lights are turned down low
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
but I'm slipping in between you and your big dreams
it's always you and my big dreams

and you tell me that it's over
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover
and you're restless and I'm naked
you've got to get out
you can't stand to see me shaking
you let me go ... I didn't think so

and you don't want to be here in the future
so you say the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past
and you don't want to look much closer
because you're afraid to find out all this hope
you had sent into the sky by now had crashed
and it did because of me

and then you bring me home
afraid to find out that you're alone
and I'm sleeping in your living room
but we don't have much room to live

I had these dreams that I might learn to play guitar
maybe across the country - become a rockstar
and there was hope in me that I could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well I don't think I care and if I hurt you then I'm sorry
please don't think that this was easy...

And then you bring me home
cause we both know what its like to be alone
and I'm dreaming in your living room
but we don't have much room to live

and Konstantine is walking down the stairs
doesn't she look good standing in her underwear?
and I was thinking what I was thinking
but we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere...

my Konstantine came walking down the stairs
and all that I could do was touch her long blond hair
and I've been thinking and it hurts me thinking
that these nights when we were drinking
no they they never got us anywhere

this is because I can spell konfusion with a K and I can like it
it's to dying in anothers arms and why I had to try it
it's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car
when the first star you see may not be a star
I'm not your star
isn't that what you said what you thought this song meant?

and if this is what it takes just to live in my mistakes
and live with what I did to you
all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock it's 11:11 and now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream you'll always be my Konstantine

my Konstantine
they'll never hurt you like I do
No, They'll never hurt you like I do
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No

this is to a girl who got into my head
with all these pretty things she did
hey you know you keep me up in bed
this is to a girl who got into my head
with all these fucked up things I did
hey maybe baby you could keep me up in bed
my Konstantine

you spin around me like your dream
we played out on this movie screen
and I said, did you know I miss you
did you know I miss you
did you know I miss you
did you know I miss you
did you know I miss you
did you know I miss you
did you know I miss you
i miss you ...

and then you bring me home
and we go to sleep but at least I'm not alone no no
and you'll kiss me in your living room, oh no
no, you miss me in your living room
cause these nights I think maybe that I miss you in my living room
and we don't have much room
I said does anybody really need that room?
cause we all need a little more room to live

...my Konstantine
