When our house falls and my stories don't light you up

When the simple sight of each other's not good enough

It's a new kind of love, not one I ever want

When we go out but we're dressing in the same room

And we dance a little faster than we used to

It's a new kind of love, not one I ever want

So tell me how did Mom and Dad do it

Tell me why there's so much to it

Maybe all said and done

I shouldn't be with anyone

So tell me how does anyone do it

Tell me how I'm gonna get through it

Maybe all said and done

I shouldn't be with anyone

Your scrapbook of our life has seen a writers block

Used to stick at it for hours till your hands came off

My hand placed on your thigh, as you drove through the night

All the effort in the world for your birthday gift

Now I'm asking what you want so I can save the risk

It's a new kind of life, not the one that we'd like

So tell me how did Mom and Dad do it

Tell me why there's so much to it

Maybe all said and done

I shouldn't be with anyone

So tell me how does anyone do it

Tell me how I'm gonna get through it

Maybe all said and done

I shouldn't be with anyone

I can't be content, always faking it

I keep changing every minute to whatever fits

On the painful road to happiness

Take the girl the house and trade them for a strangers kiss
