Nemesis

[Verse 1]

So I opened the front door, you walked in all handsome

And ready for something you saw in my eyes

Right here, we sat and we tripped out

Saw celestial mosaics, and I fell and I crawled over and held your hand

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And nobody worried about the roof being blown off

So I went farther than I'd ever gone before

[Chorus]

Change, you are my nemesis

Transition, I hold my breath

This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet

I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window

[Verse 2]

And so I climbed the stairs and bled, and here was a starseed

Right here he came to us in the bed in our bedroom

And you trusted me enough to follow me anywhere

Or the other way around, the other way around as well

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I blocked my nose and dove in the deep end

And swam like my life depended on it, and it did

[Chorus]

Change, you are my nemesis

Transition, I hold my breath

This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet

I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, no

Oh, no

[Verse 3]

Right here, in this very backyard, we promised forever

And we put our helmets on and threw the confetti

And then there's the phone call

Telling me to breathe in through my nose and out my mouth

[Bridge]

And out came our girl, faster than we thought

And now I am beyond recognition

I guess that's a good thing, and still, I want to go deeper

[Chorus]

Change, you are my nemesis

Transition, I hold my breath

This about-face, I'm excited, I'm excited yet

I'm filled with despair, anticipation and dread

This metamorphosis closed the door and opened a window
