Why Are You Still Here?

With baited breath
she says that she's leaving
She says that she's skipping town
If I were there
asleep in the passenger seat
breathing the same air
If I could care
how many witnesses
could possibly believe
Well I don't know
Is she going crazy or am I the only one
Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun
Why are you still here
We're lying through the night about our greatest fears
Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She's singing why am I still here
Why am I so feared
She slips off her dress
and says that she's leaping
She says that she wont be found
Ascending the stairs
She looks like she's dead asleep
She looks like she's been ensnared
The trap was set for someone else
The trap was set for me
but I wont know
I wont know what hit me
Is she going crazy or am I the only one
Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun
Why are you still here
We're lying through the night about our greatest fears
Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She's singing why am I still here
Why am I so feared
She's so beautiful
when you finish your cup
So terrible
in your conscience when you wake up
You've done nothing wrong
I think you might have
Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She says that she's done nothing wrong
I think she might have
You think that you've done nothing wrong
I think you might have
Her body is a marionette
She's blacked out past the point of regret
She's singing why am I still here
Why am I still here
Is she going crazy or am I the only one
Just drop the bravado and go buy a gun
Why am I still here

Backburner

My friend was with your friend in my friend's car
It was the first half of the second floor when you took charge
Had the best half of two girls
far away from home
but I've got nothing now, nothing now
I think it was a dream
I think I woke up
with a weight on my chest
heavy as a dead man's bullet proof vest
I know it's not healthy
I know you're not helping
I can't be in ten
I must be in twenty
places at once
I can have twenty faces at once
Get yourself to work it isn't far
Get yourself through college with no car
Make it out to shows and the bars, yeah
You've got to take her to the back, man
Keep her on the backburner
Just keep her on the back burner
She's never coming back
Do you ever get the feeling, like you're being watched
I bet you like it, I bet you let them hear you talk
so when I'm sleeping our frequencies could cross
I'll say it sounds good, I'll hear a high pitch
that no one else hears, and I wont like this
I wont know what it means but I,
I'll think about us
