Feats of Strength

Who's that hanging decorations for your party now? It's the one who would have been the first one to cut you down When things were just a little bit different And you weren't so securely positioned You know I don't believe in goals but I'm so glad you took the steps That brought you here where you are today But somehow I get the feeling it won't be long 'til you're stepping away Set a timid foot into the arena of love This indifferent world is full of loneliness and fear But some of us get lucky for a while There are shit stains on our brains But I love to see you smile Put no faith in the forces that brought us together They'll soon return to tear us apart But let's enjoy this time, later on we can stroke our lonely hearts Set a timid foot into the arena of love

Inside a classroom we get lectures And then we go through metal detectors They turn out the lights and show a movie How to identify our latest enemy Everyone I know is a terrorist But I don't even know if they exist Sometimes I think I hide a sympathetic mind I think too much, my friends dismiss me, Say I should shut up, no one will kiss me I wish they'd understand, they mean so much to me I wish they'd care about the things that I can see Everyone I know is a terrorist But I don't even know if they exist Sometimes I think I hide a sympathetic mind They search our lockers, they search our backpacks And what they take out they never give back They call it safety, I don't feel safer They make a rule book and change it later Everyone I know is a terrorist But I don't even know if they exist Sometimes I think I hide a sympathetic mind

Her father smiled to see me on the stairs He knew my parents well and called my name I asked her what she wanted to do and she said she didn't care And who would have known As I drove out that long road Filled up with the highest hopes She wanted to be left alone Her father was a doctor on the lake Caroline didn't have too much to say But oh what she'd written in the book I stole that day And who would have known As I drove out that long road Filled up with the highest hopes She wanted to be left alone Please stay, stay Caroline don't do it again Caroline don't do it again

The dance is after the football game And the lesson in the faces of the losing team I'm just happy that for once it isn't us I wonder, do I measure up? Is my hair a bit too long? Should I wait for a better song? Do I talk too much or not enough? I wonder, do I measure up? And if you wanna dance with me if you wanna dance with me if you wanna dance with me at the semi-formal That's my great reward that's my great reward that's my great reward for being normal You and your friends sometimes disappear I imagine what I don't hear I wonder will our future be discussed I wonder, do I measure up? Is tonight a big success Or am I just another mess Am I worthy of your touch? I wonder, do I measure up? And if you wanna dance with me if you wanna dance with me if you wanna dance with me at the semi-formal That's my great reward that's my great reward that's my great reward for being normal

Fifth Year 02:50
All my friends are gone These sidewalks are no longer mine Pretend I'm new in town I'll probably be fine Left and leaving The same girl I always see And that boy I wanted to meet Are snail tracks on my leaves All drying a little too quickly Left and leaving

I wish I may, I wish I might Bring you back to this bed tonight Let's try our best not to break each others' hearts Believe me I wish in this dating scene We could sleep around and not get mean Let's try our best not to break each others' hearts I don't wanna come off like a Christian creep But my body makes promises it wants me to keep Let's try our best not to break each others' hearts
