Two eyes starring back at me
From a magazine in my room
Could help paper tragedies
Paper tragedies
That I glue
So what does a memory
If it only feeds black and blue
Creating a fantasy
Something I can read, that is true

I will only look away
If you say, if you say
I will only look away
If you say, if you say

I dont see it
Another message left for me in code
Hieroglyphes
I never figured out how to unfold
Your paper cranes, origami agony
I rip the edges, it gave me pleasure
Figuring it out each question in a shroud
It's been forever
Wasn't forever

I will only look away
If you say, if you say
I will only look away
If you say, if you say

I will only look away
If you say, if you say
I will only look away
If you say, if you say

Now, when I close my eyes
I see how much I've lost
From scratching a memory
'Till all the colors off
Revealing the jagged lines
'Till they're in black and white

When I close my eyes
If I close my eyes
But I can't laugh about it yet
It's all to soon

The things we used to joke about
Have all come true
I have to slowly back away

I will only look away
If you say, if you say
I will only look away
If you say, if you say

I will only look away
If you say, if you say
I will never look away
When you say
