Lyrics

Everything isn't always what you think it is in life, ahuh Sometimes... He used to run in circles though his world's not round 'til she took his hand and led him to the barriers of passion Climbing the steps to mind sex is how they got down She knew his hunger but she only thought to serve him prison rations Walked with a switch but no one seemed to turn her on They couldn't find it to operate her main frame circuitry He was the F word in her vocab, a shoulder to cry on And she was the only one that never asked the meanings of his songs She liked ice skating, jazz clubs, card games, and wino He's hesitating to shed blood from these veins of time He was falling 'til he chose to pick up his feet and walk No more crawlin' while pluckin' from sound gardens when they talked Every stop light fueled his plight reflecting where he stood Though he tried to reason with god and he tried knockin' on wood Every step that he took got him closer to the edge As he choked on the liquifying of all the words he said He didn't want to admit his feelings, tried to hide 'em up his sleeves But the butterflies made a nest in his mind and wouldn't leave She always introduced I love you's and they were met with same reply Always asked if he would come over when she needed to cry He knew he didn't want to, but he said yes with a sigh Wondering if tonight she'd make a move and if she didn't why She never gave him any signs that she was interested But gave a great massage prompting the rise of his instrument But that was it, she never took it any further In his mind, this friendship's capsized the water was gettin' colder So one day on his way home he made a U and headed back Cause he needed to get a few bricks off his chest, so with that He tapped on the door, took her a while, but she let him in She was in her robe, incence was lit and scented candles were burning She asked what was wrong, he asked if she was busy Cause the thought of her with another man, made his head start spinning Then he heard a voice from the bedroom and his mouth dropped Saw a figure start down the hall then his heart stopped The figure came closer, he couldn't believe what he saw Felt like the pig that built his sanity from straw It reached the end of the hall, he didn't know where to begin And she was like, by the way, I never introduced you to my girlfriend Life isn't always what it seems, most dreams can turn to nightmares You try but you can't achieve, even though your goal is right there Love isn't always in your reach, you try to teach but you won't survive So many times you know you should speak, but you didn't think the relationship would capsize Life isn't always what it seems, most dreams can turn to nightmares You try but you can't achieve, even though your goal is right there Love isn't always in your reach, you try to teach but you won't survive So many times you know you should speak, but you didn't think the relationship would capsize Life isn't always what it seems You try but you can't achieve Love isn't always in your reach So many times you know you should speak Capsize
