Lyrics
Something in the middle of the side of the store
Got your attention you would ask for more
I was excited to be part of your world
To belong, to be lost
To be mostly the two of us
Something I was stealing for no reason at all
They hang me higher than a disco ball
But you talked them into letting me go
It's no Picasso, Michelangelo
Something bout the jewels you wear
Shiny shiny bangles on your wrists
And at the masquerade ball
You feel trapped in a vault, in an empty aquarium
If suddenly you're out of the woods
Then inside of an alley you're out of words
Well I thought it was radium at first

Just because of you
These things I have to go through
Is it so bad?
Is it so true?
Is it still you?
Just because of you
These things I have to go through
It's more than that we're chained
And there's no one else to blame
for us two

Some things they don't matter till they matter to you
They stole that money from a homeless girl
The truth is we're all to blame
There are lies and moral consequences
We started at the end of the line
To end up giving up to a couple, who care?
When you talked me into letting you go
No more coral on the atoll
Something about how hard you learned
Kamikaze in a hopeless world
Do you remember the last time you laughed
And I laughed and you left and I left?
Send me on the lonely other side of the world
With a couple of guys and no alphabet
Put two and two together, we'll make it last forever

Just because of you
These things I have to go through
Is it so bad?
Is it so true?
Is it still you?
Just because of you
These things I have to go through
It's more than that we're chained
And there's no one else to blame
for us two

Just because of you
These things I have to go through
Is it so bad?
Is it so true?
Is it still you?
Just because of you
These things I have to go through
It's more than that we're chained
And there's no one else to blame
for us two
