So I'm waiting by a phone for the blessed ring
like a holy grail for the fisher king
time is ticking down like a metronome
rhythm for my brain, and it's ceaseless scales
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear
though my heartbeat is a beat that beats so near

so we had a talk last night about the heavy blow
that you dealt in fright, you're back against the wall
it was a puzzle piece, important to the whole
that I may not find to place within that hole
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see
like a puzzle where the pieces lost you need

Chorus
so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now
but I don't see why you should
and I don't see why you should
no, I don't see why you should

so I drift into the air like a moth to light
down the boulevard to the coffee shop
in the land of song, in the land of waits
my pen is bearing down on this lonely town
I never seem to write them down as good as him
like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in

Chorus
so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now (love me now)
but I don't see why you should
so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now (love me now)
but I don't see why you should
and I don't see why you should
no, I don't see why you should
