Irony Lyrics

I couldn't get it right; it didn't line up in time

I felt something invisible behind me

A coward I hid on both sides

I didn't think my absence could harm anybody

Now asleep, I'm never alone; irony's there cold in my clothes

You're a painful desire wrapped in time and space

The rational world just can't fight back

Subways make three hundred stops

None of them are your apartment

I could swear the engineer growled

"I miss you so much" in his announcement

I need you to come through one more time

For the same reasons; the same old "why's"

What I've learned, I take where I go

Chances dissolve; that's what irony's for
