The Midwestern Charm - Can't Stand It

Dust inside my mouth
Simple as a cave is now
Another chase for boys
That I can hide the hunt for a while
When it starts to rain
I think of all the times I didn't open up
And all the things I'd seen
Don't express the things that I'm thinking of
Ooh oh, ooh oh oh
Everything I know about everything that I lose stamps from
A stupid youth and a cat mouse game
Between my alien heart and a big dumb brain
It's a little absurd how you always seem to
Step up to the plate and then back away
And if I've let you once or twice
I don't keep score 'cause it's a waste of time

Why do you always run, when you can be happy?
It doesn't seem you even try
Why do you just break apart,
And fight yourself and who you are?
Why you just break apart?
You know I can't stand it!

Run down my heart and it's crippled
When my head experience
The first time that I took the stage
With crooked knees and a crippled face
It's a little absurd how you always seem to
Step up to the plate and then back away
And if I've let you once or twice
I don't keep score 'cause it's a waste of time

Why do you always run, when you can be happy?
It doesn't seem you even try
Why do you just break apart,
And fight yourself and who you are?
Why you just break apart?
You know I can't stand it!
When you know I can't stand it!

[guitar solo]

Why do you always run, when you can be happy?
It doesn't seem you even try
Why do you just break apart,
And fight yourself and who you are?
Why you just break apart?
You know I can't stand it!
When you know I can't stand it!
