I know I'm a little erratic and sometimes my chickens are chasing my rabbits
Do you think you can stand it? I don't have the right to stand here and demand it

And just like you the paranoia keeps me up at night so late but

If you believe in desperate songs, I promise that one day I'll learn how to write them
And then you and me can be free, as long as we learn all our desperate songs

I know I'm a little bit spastic, but I build my castles with paper and plastic
You don't look like you can stand it, but when I'm done you'll say superfantastic

And just like you the softest earthquakes shake me out of bed at midnight

And if you believe in desperate songs, I promise that one day I'll learn how to write them
And then you and me can be free, as long as we learn all our desperate songs

Do you remember the panic
That you and I felt when the small was gigantic

And just like you the heavy metal keeps me up at night so late but

If you believe in desperate songs, I promise that one day I'll learn how to write them
And then you and me can be free, as long as we learn all our desperate songs
