Like a ton of bricks, it hits

Before she finishes her sentence

As the predicate predicts

A swift ending to her presence

I can see it coming from a mile away

At 600 miles an hour

A surprise attack, tora tora, kamikaze, no looking back

A tactic of considerable power

Whoa! It doesn't matter now

What I should've done then

My heart was in the right place

At the wrong time again

It doesn't matter now

What I should've done then

My heart was in the right place

At the wrong time again

Close to half a second, my composure was lost

And I had found my modesty

Everything not in the dumpster was otherwise tossed

Her voice lacking sincerity

It doesn't matter now

What I should've done then

My heart was in the right place

At the wrong time again

It doesn't matter now

What I should've done then

My heart was in the right place

At the wrong time again

It's you plus me divided by

Inadequacy times my denial (a phone call is made at midnight that won't let her fall asleep)

Minus three words that were thrown around and around (the ringer's turned off, but she can hear the answering machine)

And around and a why can doo mang ing tang duaplan

If you want to get away, you'll have to go through me

Or walk over my dead body, and you just may

The ship is sinking, I'm the captain, there's no escape

If you want to get away, you're gonna have to go through me, hey!
