Lessons in Miscommunication Part I Paroles

But you're never there so I pretend
that you're with me and having a laugh
But it just won't do. It isn't true.

Here alone with my thoughts
So I get stoned and shake it off.
But it squeezes the life from my bones
and I feel unknown.

They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once.
They always read, read me wrong.
Assuming that I, I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.

In my room with a record on,
It comforts me to hear Bazan.
He translates feelings to song Listen close cause I'm spilling my heart for the first time.

They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once.
They always read me wrong.
Assuming that I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.

I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow the pill you give me.

They look at me and they don't try
And I feel as though I can't stay at all.
Just give me a chance to make you laugh
And I'll leave at once.
They always read, read me wrong.
Assuming that I, I am always gone.
But honestly friend all I want is to spend some time with you.

I cannot say everything on my mind!
I cannot say everything!
So I swallow!
