If you decide to laugh at me   You will be my enemy   But if you'd rather smile instead   We could be the best of friends   And if you get inside my head   I'll hold my breath til I turn red   Sleep with you in an unmade bed   And take you home with me      If you subscribe to a false belief   Reality's a road too steep   But if you stop to think it through   You'll know all that you never knew   And if I fall in love with you   You'll see that none of it was true   And as the floor is falling through   You'll fall back in with me      You're a girl   At war with herself   And you may fight and die   Or you may lay down your arms   It's time to decide      If you deign to speak to me   A model of hypocrisy   And if my words mean anything   More than just a song we sing   It might just be a passing fling   The noise that sets your ears to ring   The bird that summons in the spring   Then flies back home to me      You're a girl   At war with herself   And you may fight and die   Or you may lay down your arms   It's time to decide      You will throw that life away   And we will live to our old age   Together we will wave white flags   Surrender to our happiness   And all that time   You will be loved      You're a girl   At war with herself   And you may fight and die   Or you may lay down your arms   It's time to decide
