This Is Happening - Taking Back Sunday

I’m not sure I couldn’t tell

If I took it upright, if I took it well

Saw it coming from far away

This is happening

I did everything that you asked of me

Change some words around until finally

You were satisfied, you saw dollar signs

Earned your bragging rights

Behind my white knuckles, smiled my crooked teeth

Hold back that awful, rotting stink of what I like to say

When you ask me what I think

There’s a man behind the curtain now the magic is gone

Nothing much is showing except some blood on the walls

And when you’re good and broken, when the moment is right

You’ll show up with that smile

Strung-out and stuck between (you're the opposite of interesting)

Strung-out and stuck between (I'm the opposite of interesting)

Strung-out and stuck between (they haven’t taught us anything)

Stuck in between the past and what comes next

It’s getting harder, I can’t recall

What all this means to me through all

This night intrusion, in double speak

Tore the floor out from underneath

I did everything that you asked of me

Triple tied my tongue, and I went quietly

This is happening

This is happening

Oh my god, you said, I just wanna be gone, right now

Yet you’ll stay if you want

I don’t care what you say, Should I just get up and go

God, god, god, God damn

It slowly bleeds you dry

I couldn’t give a shit, I really couldn’t give a shit
