You weren't born in the summer
So your hair was softer than mine
And you were poised
Cool calm and collected
You taught me not to worry
About my fiction life
And you were right
But this was wrong
And i knew it all along
You can't wash away
What's cast inside the plaster
Or underneath the lacquer
Cuz it's been engrained in me
Since I was just fifteen that most things
Go away after a good night's sleep
But baby that's not true
Not with me and you
I wasn't born in the winter
That's why my hair is always dry
And I'm not big on submission
But I've got 20/20 vision
That's how I caught you
Scoping out my thighs
From across the room
That's when I knew we were doomed
Now your pretty boy arms and your charm
Are fogging up all I do
And I swore that I would finally move on
From unrequited love songs
But I was wrong
What would you do
With a guilty conscience
And a new pair of shoes
Would you acknowledge a flea
With an elephant's memory
In the name of mysteries unsolved
I bet you regret getting involved
