Fall Back
We're so impressed with the choices you make
It took less than twenty hours to admit the mistake
The less said about the sink, the better
So complicated
When self expression is no longer the case
You've got a taut defense, bewildered look on your face
It's kind of funny who it brings together

And the poets, majestic, the sweaters, all sing
Tell you when you should worry about me
It's not the sarcasm, but the apathy

And at times like this I say:
Never were one to fake it (Ooh-ah-ooh)
About the cool subtlety you lack
While avoiding the other I'll have to duck and cover (Ooh-ah-ooh)
From the place that you fall back, fall back now

There was a place in the back of her head
That distributed logic but the synapse was dead
And it's amazing how she lived without it
So overrated
When it was over and I finally got sleep
There was an inconsistent lapse in the records I keep
And so I hardly ever talk about it
And the poets, majestic, the sweaters, all sing
And the sadness, the longing, the glasses, all sing
Tell you when you should worry about me
It's not the sarcasm, but the apathy

And at times like this I say
Never were one to fake it (Ooh-ah-ooh)
About the cool subtlety you lack
While avoiding the other I'll have to duck and cover (Ooh-ah-ooh)
From the place that you fall back, fall back now

So fall back, back, back on the things that you do
There are a hundred more ways to justify you
Fall back, back, back as you fall through the cracks
And now we'll help you along while ignoring the facts

Fall back, fall back, upon the things that you say
You know excuses are meaningless anyway
So fall back, back, back and we'll pick up the slack
Still not ahead of the game, but I'm on the right track
So fall back
