The Bug Parade

Lyrics

The lips I've been watching are yours You and your mom are talking about lord knows Dim lights in the kitchen, the TV's so low The lips I've been watching are moving slowly For the first time, I'm glad you're not including me I couldn't speak if you did, I'm staring at your lips The bugs at my back porch light, like confetti on my head This makes me shake, should have stayed at your place But I have to work, and you've got to study This boy is not spent, forever unlucky Minutes away, but miles apart For the first time, I'm glad you're not including me I couldn't speak if you did, I'm staring at your lips I hope your mom isn't looking at me And thinking "What the fuck's he staring at?" Of course, it's just these late night talks with you, late night drives alone And I'm finding I'm losing from straining and confusing I'm left awake, and I'm dead, defeated and dismissed I should have stayed with you Minutes away but miles apart
