 Singin' to you in the back of the van 
I can't fix it all but I'll hold your hand 
Until the headlights crack and we drive head first 
For the graves in the yard of this new jersey church. 
And the closest I've come to the feeling of knives 
Is the pain that I feel from the thorns in your side 
Because they poke right through your sweater 
And rip the fabric that holds our illusions together. 
And the antidote for all the things 
That tear us up from seam to seam 
Is the space between our eyes 
I never would have been here otherwise. 
And I suppose that with our broken wings 
We'll have to learn to use our feet 
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives 
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we? 
Singin' to you in the back of my car 
The lights flash red and the door's ajar 
I could tell you the truth but the truth is much worse 
So I'll tell you a lie and you'll never be hurt. 
And the closest I've come to the feeling of fine 
Is the joy that I feel from your hands on my side 
Because they poke right through your sweater 
And rip the fabric that holds my delusions together. 
And the antidote for all the things 
That tear us up from seam to seam 
Is the space between our eyes 
I never would have been here otherwise. 
And I suppose that with our broken wings 
We'll have to learn to use our feet 
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives 
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we? 
We'll have to try, won't we? 
(This body isn't mine anymore) 
You should just let this go, but I can't tell you so 
(You threw away the keys and locked the door) 
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't 
(This body isn't mine anymore) 
You should just let this go, but I can't tell you so 
(You threw away the keys and locked the door) 
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't. 
And the antidote for all the things 
That tear us up from seam to seam 
Is the space between our eyes 
I never would have been here otherwise. 
And I suppose that with our broken wings 
We'll have to learn to use our feet 
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives 
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
