Bodies and Words Lyrics by Silverstein

Arrivals & Departures

2007

[Verse 1]
This conversation
Always ends
With goodbye
You're standing here behind the door
You're waiting with your hope
[Chorus]
Maybe you just have to sleep
In someone else's bed
Maybe you just have to keep
Searching for something better than perfect
Which you know will never exist
It's cut and dried
[Verse 2]
There's no defense like
A good offense
You know this
The clock is running down on me
There's no way I can win
[Chorus]
Maybe you just have to sleep
In someone else's bed
Maybe you just have to keep
Searching for something better than perfect
Which you know will never exist
It's cut and dried
[Bridge]
I've known this all along
I loved you anyways
Despite all your deceit
Think about if you had been faithful
How I would have felt
Now all we have left are bodies and words
I can't be a boy forever
[Chorus]
Maybe you just have to sleep
In someone else's bed
Maybe you just have to keep
Searching for something better than perfect
Which you know will never exist
It's cut and dried
