a bowling ball in water   it's a chore not to sink   a new life without you   oh, the possibilities are fleeting   and I tried so hard to engineer this trip   now I know my magic wand was just a ruler   keeping space between us      a metaphorical home   for your neglected loner heart   it was unwise to think   that your residency would be enduring   and I'll sleep in the middle of my bed   pretending that it's natural   'cause after all      I am just a vacation   that you decide   you can vacate at any old time      and at the ceremony   step up to receive your prize   "most likely to bail"   it's amazing you never   thought you earned this   I turn 95 degrees just to think straight   now you can't see me   I can't feel you      I am just a vacation   that you decide   you can vacate at any old time      and you arrived so triumphantly   singing your love   making heads lean toward you   now we'll keep on trying   and I'll still keep fighting   to find all the notes   that were lost on dead air that you breathe      and you tried to fake and fly   but unsuccessfully   'cause soon you'll be seeing   your reflection in my eyes      and I'll sleep in the middle of my bed   trying to forget every word you said   I'll never forget what you said, no      I am just a vacation   that you decide   you can vacate at any old time   any old freakin' time
