Heartbeats that race but feet that drag   Your parents split up and I'm left here   To feel sorry for you and I'm just not sure   If this is how it's supposed to be      With me on your bed   Your eyes glued to the TV   And I'm just not sure if I fit in   To this film strip of yesterdays      But this is as real as it gets   This is as real as I can be      And it just feels right   Floating around your room   And it just feels right   Touching your hair      And it just feels right   To hold on to what we felt before   But I'm apathetic with a capital A   And I'm fading into this old chair      Just isn't enough magic to turn this one around   I can't play the role of concerned anymore   She says, "This life is for the birds"   But heavens know, don't go away tonight      'Cause this isn't about what's on the TV set   It's about how you've handled yourself   And how it isn't working anymore   And it's ten seconds until it gets quiet      It's cold and it's far fetched   To say that spring is around the corner   It's ten seconds until   And if this is how it ends, I'm already dead      And if this is how it ends, I'm already dead   But if this is how it ends, I'm already dead   I'm already dead   I'm already dead      And it just feels right   Floating around your room   It just feels right   So hold on to what we felt before   But I'm apathetic, I'm so apathetic   And I'm fading, I'm fading into this old chair
