I (Oh, I)

[Verse 1: Jake] Pleasurable grin breaks your face as I offer a clammy hand The night we so cherished for days has become a foreign land Where is the manhood I dreamed of for years and years again A drought-ridden feeling tailored for those royal men [Chorus: Nathan, Jake, Whistler] I, oh oh I (oh I), I have seen the bitter change of things (I, oh oh I) I, oh oh I (oh I), know how you feel [Verse 2: Jake] Cobblestone thoughts sink their teeth into my state of mind Eclectic as they shift and plot our own demise Down with the ship as it sinks with summertime Eighteen years, eighteen years [Chorus: Nathan, Jake Whistler] I, oh oh I (oh I), I have seen the bitter change of things (I, oh oh I) I, oh oh I (oh I), know how you feel I, oh oh I , I have seen the bitter change of things I, oh oh I have seen what you've become [Bridge: Jake] The saintly boys and girls we throw at them our cleavered words and rules to no avail A sun-kissed moon is weak with gravity we all know But still the books of men we pound into our lips, our ears, our skin To cherish fates deprived of them, at times Their death is placed with gold [Chorus: Nathan, Jake, Whistler] I, oh oh I (oh I), I have seen the bitter change of things (I, oh oh I) I, oh oh I (oh I), know how you feel
