lyrics

The importance of being important
Ain't it such a trip? And a little bit obvious
It takes all that you've got to wake up
A slow and steady drip, the twitching of your lips
Every day, it gets harder

Like colors, mixed with all the others
You tried to make it right, but you tried to hard tonight
You’re patient, kicking at the pavement
Feeling calcified, with thoughts of qualified
Every day, we get farther

Baby why you trying to change me?
We want the same things, I wont let it go
Right, do you really wanna try me?
Try and stop me, you got me by the throat

One thing leads into the next thing
Ain’t it such a shame, you’re waiting on a change
Well if you explain it, I might understand shit
Its basically the same, and I’m basically to blame
Every day, we get farther

Baby why you trying to change me?
We want the same things, I wont let it go
Right, do you really wanna try me?
Try and stop me, you got me by the throat

Baby why you trying to change me?
We want the same things, I wont let it go
Right, do you really wanna try me?
Try and stop me, you got me by the throat

We met at a party in Madison. People told us we looked like a band, so we started one a few days later.
