Grammar Lessons Lyrics

You have a way of phrasing

That lures me in

With false questions your baiting

Fools me again

And I swallow hook line and paragraph

Your letters so sweet

And wait for the day

When you will come back to me

But my past and my future

Are equally grim

The water is rising

And I can't conjugate swim

And you say that you want me around

But I know that you want me subdued

And you only love me

In the subjunctive mood

You throw around words with abandon

And it twists me inside

Your semantics too often seem random

I wonder what you're trying to hide

And I wait by the door like a dog

And hope you return

But you've got it down to a science

And I never learn

And my past and my present

Are equally bleak

The water is rising

And my little boat's sprung a leak

And you say that you want me around

But I know that you want me subdued

And you only love me

In the subjunctive mood

Yeah my past is imperfect

And my future looks worse

But I just don't have the words

To break the hold of this curse

And you say that you want me around

And although you want me subdued

I'll only leave you

In the subjunctive mood

And you say that you want me around

But I know that you want me subdued

And you only love me

In the subjunctive mood
