Lyrics

Theory of Emotion

Hey, when she looks sad
I get horribly nostalgic for the times we had
Throwing plates, surprise attack
Yeah we fought like we were acting in an improv class

But through it all we still managed to laugh

Do you take me as I am?
Cause I'll take you as I am
And I don't take things lightly
And I feel nothing mostly all the time
Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?
That reminds me
Of a poster I saw hanging at the dentist
I was late for my appointment
But the lady at the desk was awfully patient

She said, "honey won't you sit across from me?
Pour yourself a coffee, choose a magazine."

Do you take me as I am?
Cause I'll take you as I am
And I don't take things lightly
And I feel nothing mostly all the time
Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?

Do you take me as I am?
Cause I'll take you as I am
And I don't take things lightly
And I feel nothing mostly all the time
Am I dead behind the eyes from loving you too tightly?
Too tightly?
