I'm a peculiar optimist
That the universe keeps trying to change
And I know my faith is long
Or my memory is short

Why can't weeds be beautiful
Why can't roses survive a hurricane
Well this mission is destined to fail and it's time to abort

Because I'm no stranger
To wasting my own time
It's mine and it's not yours
No stranger to tasting my own lies
And my tongue feels so coarse
And I'm no stranger to strangers
I say hi, you walk by, I'm clinically insane
But I'm holding the door for you
And you hold the pain

I practice conversations in the mirror
And I laugh at what I must look like to you
But when you're there I just stare
and I get these words all wrong

Fumble around on an out of tune guitar
Making the most out of every mistake
And at the end of it all at least I'll have me a joke or a song

Because I'm no stranger
To wasting my own time
It's mine and it's not yours
No stranger to tasting my own lies
And my tongue feels so coarse
And I'm no stranger to strangers
I say hi, you walk by, I'm clinically insane
But I'm holding the door for you
And you hold the pain

I don't pretend to have it together
And I don't keep it from falling apart
But I don't go out of my way to turn it all into a mess

I'm not one to dance around the fire
But I don't stand right in the middle of it either
I walk right through; how I survive is anybody's guess

But I'm no stranger
To wasting my own time
It's mine and it's not yours
No stranger to tasting my own lies
And my tongue feels so coarse
And I'm no stranger to strangers
I say hi, you walk by, I'm clinically insane
But I'm holding the door for you
And you hold the pain

But I'm no stranger
To wasting my own time
It's fine cos it's mine and it's not yours
and I'm no stranger to tasting my own lies
It's sweet and my tongue feels so coarse
And I'm no stranger to strangers
I say hi, you walk by, but I'm the one who's clinically insane
But I'm holding the door for you
