Life As Expected

Commander Venus

Pull back the sheets

And climb in bed with me

We can talk all night

I'm not tired, are you?

I'm not tired, are you?

Did you like the party?

Did you see any pretty girls there?



Not that it matters

Neither of us are alone

Neither of us are alone

But sometimes it feels that way

So I need a sign

Give me your hand

No more life as expected

I'm through with the usual

I want to fall in love



But if my mouth stays shut, and I don't speak up

Then she'll never know, then she'll never know

If I can't relax, if I can't tell her how I really feel

What she really means to me



The cops showed up

About a quarter to two

I didn't even notice

I was so immersed in my conversation with you

The band's too loud

Somebody tell them

Somebody tell them to turn it down



I don't want to hear a sound

Except for her voice

Except for her breath

Except for my beating heart

Begging her to come closer and closer

Oh, I want her close to me

But if the hands don't clap

And if I can't relax

This is hopelessness

Why do I even try?

Because tonight will end

And my life goes on

Like it always has

Like it's always going to



The chorus is done

And we're still standing

In our standard melody

Only one of us is alone

Only one of us is alone

And it's not you

And it's not you

Thank God it's not you
