Miss the Mark

So self-assured in your smile
You'd like to think you're in style
With all that it costs
It still makes me wonder whether
You'd miss the mark by a mile

When I think of where you've been
Tied to a metal machine
You've mastered your thighs
It's no fun, I realize
Fun doesn't fit in your scheme

And you'll be wasting no time
With all the bright ideas that you find
When you write the book
In your mind, it's a million-seller
I won't be waiting in line

When I see you
I think about time
Don't you think about it too?
I don't hate you
There's all the time in the world
You should be spending some too

[repeat 2nd verse]

[repeat 3rd verse]

And when I see you
I think about time
Don't you think about it too?
Well I don't hate you
There's all the time in the world
You should be wasting some too

So self-assured in your smile
You'd like to think you're in style
With all that it costs
It still makes me wonder whether
You'd miss the mark by a mile
You'd like to think you're in style



Get You (Back On My Side)

Am I too late to get you
Am I too late to get you
Am I too late to get you back on my side
They were all there when I met you
They'd just as soon I forget you
But don't think that I'd let you slip on by

Sunday afternoon
What made the weekend go so soon
It's still Friday in my mind
And if I hate your friends
It doesn't mean we have to end
It's just gonna take a little time

Am I too late to get you
Am I too late to get you
Am I too late to get you back on my side
I'd never want to wish you
A love that hurt to fit you
But I let you skirt the issue one too many times

Sunday afternoon
What made the weekend go so soon
Friday's sticking in my mind
And if I hate your friends
It doesn't mean we have to end
You'll come around in your good time

Am I too late to get you
Am I too late to get you
Am I too late to get you back on my side

Driving me out of my mind
(If) you look me up one day you'll find me out of my mind
I'll tell you what to do
I can help you think it through
Oh, you'll learn to hate them too
Just like I do
I want to show you



In Logic

Go through it one more time
You say that you're gonna leave
You say I'm not your kind
Well, maybe I could change
You say you need more space
We could find a bigger place
And I don't listen to you
That won't happen again
That won't happen again

Why can't you see
In logic you're no match for me
Couldn't you stay
I'll show you the proof here today
Why can't you see
Your reasons have nothing on me
I think you'll find
Your logic is no match for mine

You say you need more time
Well, I'll be waiting here
If you could read my mind
You'd see how I'd planned it out
And if there's too much pain
Yeah, I've got some novocaine
You say you want freedom
We could go anywhere
You couldn't leave me here
We could go anywhere

Why can't you see
In logic you're no match for me
Couldn't you stay
I'll show you the proof here today
Why can't you see
Your reasons have nothing on me
I think you'll find
Your logic is no match for mine
Oh, anyhow
You'd better just give up right now
I know it's absurd
'Cause you could tear down my rules with a word
With a word



Freeway

The stats on you are rising
Racking up 80 miles a day
Never mind your fear of flying
I see the day arriving
But you just keep on driving

Oh, you know tailgating days aren't gonna last
Oh, can't you see the freeway rides to fast
Oh, it never stops adding up cars you pass

Check out the wreck you rubbernecker
Slowdown on I-94 again
Now they're calling out the wrecker
Your love of speed is showing
Do you know where it's going?

Oh, you know tailgating days aren't gonna last
Oh, can't you see the freeway rides to fast
Counting cars you pass

It's a city like any other
It's got the jobs but not the friends
It's alright for work but you wouldn't live there
You couldn't be seen walking
I'm tired of all your talking

Oh, you know tailgating days aren't gonna last
Oh, can't you see the freeway rides to fast
Oh, good old tailgating days aren't gonna last
Stop to think about the cars that you harassed
Adding up too fast

Who's in your rearview mirror now?
Who's in your rearview mirror now?
