Lyrics
In Gotham City, you're looking pretty,
I'm the obtrusive guy at your side
Another party, you're Laurel, I'm Hardy
You're flying and I am along for the ride
They're calling places, you're fixing your faces
And I'm in the green room, I'm hanging around
And then right after, you're lighter than laughter
And I got my jealousy dragging me down
Another night, I could be persuaded
With a look in your eye and a tug on my arm
Another day, you get accoladed,
And I get the feeling we'll both come to harm
And I fear what I might find
If I were to open up my mind
Yeah, I'm scared of the words that come out at the seams
I am hounded by nightmares while you're chasing dreams
And my vision is dim where it used to be clear
Looking forward to looking back on this year.
And while you're flying, I'm quietly dying,
You're over me, I'm going under again
You see me frowning, not waving but drowning,
I summon a smile, you go back to your friends
Another venue, and so you continue
And I keep the peace with my well-chosen lies
All things being equal, I'll wait for the sequel
Where everyone's happy and nobody dies
Another night, I could be persuaded
With a look in your eye and a tug on my hand
Another day, you are so elated
And I'm full of anger you don't understand
And I fear what I might find
If I were to open up my mind
Yeah, I'm scared of the words that come out at the seams
I am hounded by nightmares while you're chasing dreams
And my vision is dim where it used to be clear
Looking forward to looking back on this year,
BRIDGE:
Some day when we'll both look back and laugh at all the things we said
Some day when it all seems so ridiculous and strange instead
But right now I am living through it
I can't see another way to do it
I can't help feeling like I blew it
And I am looking forward to looking back.
Another game, olly-oxen free me
'cause I'm tired of playing and I wanna go home
Where I'll get my life on track
And I know that we'll make it through thick and through thin
And I know I'll get out more than I have put in
If I keep looking forward
Well, I am looking forward
I am looking forward
Yeah, I am looking forward to looking back.
I'm the obtrusive guy at your side
Another party, you're Laurel, I'm Hardy
You're flying and I am along for the ride
They're calling places, you're fixing your faces
And I'm in the green room, I'm hanging around
And then right after, you're lighter than laughter
And I got my jealousy dragging me down
Another night, I could be persuaded
With a look in your eye and a tug on my arm
Another day, you get accoladed,
And I get the feeling we'll both come to harm
And I fear what I might find
If I were to open up my mind
Yeah, I'm scared of the words that come out at the seams
I am hounded by nightmares while you're chasing dreams
And my vision is dim where it used to be clear
Looking forward to looking back on this year.
And while you're flying, I'm quietly dying,
You're over me, I'm going under again
