All I ever wanted to be was a woolly muffler on your naked neck
 Double-wrap me when it's cold
 But you pulled a little tight just now
 And I'm afraid I feel a choke [bad word] on

 All I ever thought we [bad word] to was second dates
 And flirting eyebrows
 Or maybe even psychic friends
 And we could share a secret language
 And almost definitely make more of it
 Than it was
 But everyone around us would know
 Everyone watching would know

 This is not a walk with walking wounded
 Here's the ball, here's the pole, now where's the tether
 Where's the tether?
 Hands can grow together
 If you're not careful or grateful or whatever
 And I never much cared much too much to begin with

 I will not take your possibilities under my care
 I will not see you on the bus
 You want me to hold your hand
 It's a courtship I can't stand
 And here I thought you were crying because you were happy
 But no no no

 Friends will turn against you
 People disappoint you every time
 So if you've got greatness in you would you do us all a favor
 And keep it to yourself?
 Keep it
 Keep it to yourself

 labored expat fantasy:
 Quit your job and move away with me
 Oh what bliss it would be
 To pretend we never met

 I'm elated now
 I'm elated now
 I'm elated now
 I'm elated now
