Always Lyrics by Rilo Kiley

Take Offs and Landings

2001

[Verse 1]
I should've known
With a boy like you
Your middle name is Always
"I'd always love you"
Uh-huh, yeah

[Verse 2]
You let the needle drop
I think that you could do so much better
Those conventions are taking their toll on you

[Chorus]
The phantom is disguised
It's horrifying right before your eyes
The phantom is inside

[Verse 3]
And I should've known
With a boy like you
Your middle name is Always
"I'd always want you"
Oh uh-huh, yeah

[Chorus]
The phantom is disguised
It's horrifying right before your eyes
The phantom is inside
It's hideous, right before your eyes

[Outro]
The phantom is watching you
The phantom is watching you
You
