Lyrics

All of the I Love Yous in the world
Precious as a string of plastic pearls
Bedazzling the landfill of your pure intentions
You’re all set to blow your cover
Will you bet your life?

Automatic pilot, rest your eyes
Slapstick tightrope sleepwalkers survive
Kiss automaticity goodbye, it’s no protection
You don’t get to do this over
You don’t get more time
Your words are meaningless if you never put aside your disguise
Typing “save me” into a browser window won’t make it alright

So lifelike when you take your place
and say what you’re expected to say
In half-light anyway
Some half-baked half-awake embrace
waiting for the end of the day
Or for a slap in the face

You don’t get to do this over
Will you bet your life?

And when I opened my eyes
Unconscious in overdrive
I saw your face in the light, oh
