In Love: Fear of Pop (feat. Ben Folds Five)

I remember
The night we met
That night we sat
Entwined
Under summer skies
I looked into your eyes
And
You looked into mine

You said
[Oleander holly]
"You're not like the rest"
And I nodded
[Crimson feet of Collie]
"No one understands me"
You said
And I nodded once again
[Beautiful and lovely]
As if to agree that all men
Are indeed the same
[My baby]
Somehow, you said
[The only one]
I was different

[Who really understands meFloating hand in hand weWhisper in the moonlightAnd say that I'mThe things you want to seeKody and her star child]
For months on end
I maintained
[Goddess of the moonlight]
A veneer of sincere interest
[Hold me in the morning]
As if I were listening
As you relived every page
[And tell me I'm]
Of self-help and new age
[the only one alive]
That you'd read
And
[Who really understands you]
I went in for the kill
I'd read the same books
[Tell me pretty stories]
I learned to ape the motions
Of a sensitive human being
[Say you understand me]
And we were oh, so happy
[My baby]
But you found things to fix
[The things you want to see]
And I knew it was time
To move on
[But I could never beIn loveIn love]

So now you have me
Completely figured out
You feel sorry for me
I can't express my feelings
I can't tell the truth
We are all alike
At puberty, I was sworn to secrecy
By the international brotherhood
Of lying, fickle males
I can't tell you anything
And I can't commit
You're right
I can't commit
To you

[Hold me in the morning]
I will always treasure
Our time together
[Tell me pretty stories]
I don't feel enough of anything
To harbor the kind of disdain
[Say that you're the only one]
That you'll maintain
You painted me into what you
[My baby]
Wanted to see
That's fine
[But I could never be]
But you will never know me
