Thorn and Tides - Call Security

I know a girl that wont cry and she knows a friend of mine.

They’ve been going through a tough time, but they’re still together.

I’m not afraid to die, and I never could quite figure out why there’s no fear

in the eyes of those who could do better.

I want you like a thorn in the side, and you’re pulling me in by your tides.

I’ve had my doubts, but we’ll give it a try.

I think that would be better.

In this world, be pleasant or smart.

You can have a lot of friends, or you can have a lot of heart.

Not 'til we invent the art can we be together.

I speak for me and I know I should.

I’d let you take me if you could.

I’m just a boy that’s made of wood, I wonder who’s holding my strings.

I wrote a letter to myself blaming everything on everyone else.

I sent it to the return address 'cause the writer was a liar.

I want you like a thorn in the side, and you’re pulling me in by your tides.

I’ve had my doubts, but we’ll give it a try.

I think that would be better.

In this world, be pleasant or smart.

You can have a lot of friends, or you can have a lot of heart.

Not 'til we invent the art can we be together.

I’ve got pages hanging on the wall and they say a lot by saying nothing at all.

My life is starting to snowball, and I’m sliding down the hill.

I’m held together with twist-ties, and another reason gone is another reason

why.

I can’t find a place to lie, so I’ll go sleep in the yard.

I want you like a thorn in the side, and you’re pulling me in by your tides.

I’ve had my doubts, but we’ll give it a try.

I think that would be better.

In this world, be pleasant or smart.

You can have a lot of friends, or you can have a lot of heart.

Not 'til we invent the art can we be together.
