lyrics
I was on the grassy knoll
Watching through my telescope
That's all it was, a telescope, I swear
Monday night I dreamt I missed you
Doubled back and tried to kiss you
Then I jumped down on the tracks
Closed my eyes, turned my back, said
CHORUS
I know a little trick
To make myself disappear
I used it once before
That's how I ended up here, oh
I disappear, disappear
By now I'm just an anecdote
A loser story that you tell
Probably not so often or so well
I never meant to cause you pain
Next time I'll say that again
Mean it every time I say it
No one ever learns, let's face it
CHORUS
I should celebrate
Escaping with my life
When now I don't remember what you stole
I could, but it's too late
For looking over my shoulder
I'm too busy getting older
And I don't want to pay that toll
Underneath the microscope
I wouldn't hold up very long
Face it now, I've never been that strong
You're flat-out out of your mind
And I'm so tired of being kind
Sorry 'bout the mess from moving
Nothing's left that's worth improving
CHORUS
Watching through my telescope
That's all it was, a telescope, I swear
Monday night I dreamt I missed you
Doubled back and tried to kiss you
Then I jumped down on the tracks
Closed my eyes, turned my back, said
CHORUS
I know a little trick
To make myself disappear
I used it once before
That's how I ended up here, oh
I disappear, disappear
By now I'm just an anecdote
A loser story that you tell
Probably not so often or so well
I never meant to cause you pain
Next time I'll say that again
Mean it every time I say it
No one ever learns, let's face it
CHORUS
I should celebrate
Escaping with my life
When now I don't remember what you stole
I could, but it's too late
For looking over my shoulder
I'm too busy getting older
And I don't want to pay that toll
Underneath the microscope
I wouldn't hold up very long
Face it now, I've never been that strong
You're flat-out out of your mind
And I'm so tired of being kind
Sorry 'bout the mess from moving
Nothing's left that's worth improving
CHORUS
