remember last september
and everything about us then
seemed as perfect as the weather
no thunderstorm could ever change a thing
everything’s so different these days
the lightning’s making clear the signs of change
will i remember this ten years from now
will i even remember your face
i’m burning up again with this feeling
another phony smile as you grin and bear it
you asked me what i wanted
i wanted only to tell you the truth
you asked me what i wanted
i thought it only fair to lie to you
now i find myself driving
at 4:30 in the morning
arm hanging out the window
i’m cold as hell but i don’t mind it
i wanna tell you but i don’t
confiding in myself and no one else
now i’ve run a red light cuz you’ve
stolen all my concentration
i’m burning up again with this feeling
another phony smile as you grin and bear it
you asked me what i wanted
i wanted only to tell you the truth
you asked me what i wanted
i thought it only fair to lie to you
fair to lie to you
