Third Eye Blind

Remember when this captain lost control
between the promised land and desert road?
didn’t know my moral compass was so broken
till the circles in the gravel let me know,
and my mind was playing tricks on us the most
could’ve sworn I built a castle, you were right;
it was a moat.
that drivel about “options or I’m better off alone”
yeah that was just a white lie
all along, my third eye was telling me

that I
choose you
though I~
could never bring myself to say I do
yeah I
choose you
I’ve been dogging for a minute
now I’m begging for forgiveness

not a secret all the other humans know
the kind of havoc you can wreak when the unknown
hits a cerebellum unequipped to cope
you get an ego with a lit fuse in a lukewarm-blooded recluse
who’s sure to misinterpret everything
’til the kamikaze mission doesn’t seem insane
shouldn’t take disaster to decide
when the truth is in the bloodstream
even through the morphine,

I can tell that I
choose you
though I
could never bring myself to say I do
yeah I
choose you
I’ve been dogging for a minute
now I’m begging for forgiveness

so many words that I could use
to say this
cause I been looking forward to learning you
believe it’s not your fault baby
me and love, we’ve been off baby
but when it’s all said and done
[straight up]
you’ll be painted to the walls baby
cause I - I - I - I choose you

I
choose you
though I~
could never bring myself to say I do
yeah I
choose you
I’ve been dogging for a minute
now I’m begging for forgiveness

stop, think about it
really think about it
look before you leap
there’s no trampoline
stop, think about it
really think about it
hanging on the edge at
30,000 feet baby…
stop, think about it
really think about it
doesn’t honesty
justify the means?
stop, think about it
really think about it
even on the edge at
30,000 feet you know
I...
