Meat: The Bad Examples

Well, do you believe what you're saying
Or are they angry words?
Remember "goodbye" is a long time
Longer than "forever" or "i love you"
And you looked at me like i'm a stranger
(chorus)
But this is me
Do you remember who you're talking to
This is me -- but who are you?

I sat in your car and i listened
To all your crazy theories
But something inside must have broken
'cause all your words were in another language
And you looked at me like i'm a stranger

Chorus

Bit by bit the pieces fell together
Day by day the problems were getting better
Then you laughed and said i'll have to forget you

If this was a joke i'd be laughing
It seems so impossible
But when i wake up in the morning
I'll wake up alone, still not understanding
How you looked at me like i'm a stranger

Chorus

I wait by my pillow for your footsteps
Echoing up to my door
Afraid that you'll think i'll be waiting
I get up and i lock the door
I get up and i lock the door
I'm waiting for summer
But winter keeps on whispering in my ear
I say i don't love you
But sometimes i wish that you were here

(chorus)
And i got a feeling our love is over
But i keep on looking over my shoulder

My stereo calls me
But all of the records have been played before
Dreaming of loving you
Waking and i don't love you anymore

Chorus

So many nights together
Now i'm here alone
I wait for you one last time
But i know that we can't go back

Chorus

I wake in the darkness
But the footsteps are in my imagination
My tv's white hissing
Has replaced all my midnight animation
And i got a feeling our love is over
But i keep on looking over my shoulder

I keep on looking over my shoulder...
I got a feeling our love is over
But i keep on looking over my shoulder

He wants to take her out to a movie
But he's not sure if he wants to go
And he don't wanna take it too quickly
And he don't wanna take it too slow
Yeah, she's the kind of girl he's always dreamed of
Oh, but this time it looks like it's real
And he knows she makes him feel happy
But he don't know what he wants to feel

(chorus)
It's a little disaster -- little disaster
He wants everything to work out perfect
But she only wants to be with him

He buys her flowers that he never sends her
'cause he's afraid she might misunderstand
And then he knows he might not deliver
The love that he knows she'll demand

Yeah, and he's ready for the altar
But suddenly he's running away
And he knows he'll love her forever
But he don't know if he wants to stay

Chorus

He loves her (he loves her) -- he can't understand
Why it should be such a struggle
He's happy (he's happy) -- but it's not enough
Somehow he still ends up lonely... lonely

Well there's a train that leaves saturday morning
So she can summer with friends out of state
And it feels like it came without warning
And all of his words are too late

Yeah, and he stammers and stares at the station
And her bags are as heavy as lead
And he wanted to tell her he loved her
But the train pulls away instead

Chorus
It's a little disaster -- little disaster -- little disaster
He wants everything to work out perfect
But she only wants to be with him
Little disaster -- little disaster -- little disaster...
