Pre-Existing Condition

let's go for a walk in the moonlight

so I can fail to say what I feel

'cause your green eyes make everything

too difficult to reveal

I wrote you a thousand letters

and you said every word made sense

but I know that you haven't gotten around

to reading a single one yet

I learned to run away before I could crawl

I used to play third base and then I dropped the ball

everyone only remembers your mistakes

I lost half of my lovers by telling the truth

lost the other half telling them lies

now you roll back your eyes and fall asleep

like my grandmother did when she died

Sit back and just paint me a nervous smile

and sigh with every muscle taut

and I'll never stop thinking about the way

you were too scared to say what you thought
