I've always been this way
Never known any other way to feel
Got the right of way
And all of the others must yield

Now I'm naked and I'm in school
I can't make it to the door

Try to understand
That an oyster can only make a pearl
From a grain of sand
But from what I don't know makes a girl

But I'm trying not to laugh
It's that I'm dying

When we break (when we break)
Apart (apart)
And you take (and you take)
Back your heart (back your heart)
And it aches in the dark
But it makes a tiny spark

I've always been this way
Never known any other way to feel
Got the right of way
And all of the others must yield

Now I'm naked and I'm in school
I can't make it to the door
We were lying in the grass
I was trying, oh, not to laugh
I was drowning in the past
