Hop to Another SongMy love, you love your time machine,
your power trips and diamond rings,
the walls you built on teenage dreams,
the well you dug for sinkin’ things.
Your words to cut are evergreen,
so you must not feel anything at all.
But how’d you get so far removed,
you trade your time for inside truths.
Trade your time for any clue
of what to do or not to do.
Hate to say, it’s nothing new,
aside from those few girls you keep around.
How will it end? How long will you give me
‘til you twist the truth with a
smile while you guilt me?
Then you ask me to dance if there’s someone ‘round,
you don’t look the same when I look at you now.
Hm-mm, hm-mm,
mm…
Honey pie, you’re haunting me,
I fell for your faux fantasy.
You poured the tea, there’s poison in it.
Disregard my disposition,
proof is in the subtle things,
your eggshell floor is splintering now, mm.
And it freaks me out I’m old enough
to know you as a wasted love,
you’re everything I’ll never be, you live
to look for enemies.
I have to bet that’s lonely,
could leave you with an empty house.
(ah-ah, ah)
How will it end? How long will you give me
‘til you twist the truth with a
smile while you guilt me?
Then you ask me to dance if there’s someone ‘round,
you don’t look the same when I look at you now.
And I used to pretend, that it didn’t feel evil,
your light of a million, suns burns through people.
And bridges and cities, ’til ash covers ground,
a breath of your air is a last wish.
And you’re forcing my hand
but I’m a drop in your ocean,
I ruined your plans of some grand self-promotion.
The second you figured that I figured you out –
now you look away when I look at you now.
(hm-mm) When I look at you now,
(hm-mm) well look at you,
mm-mm…
