Take it off, take it in Take off all the thoughts of what we've been Take a look, hesitate Take a picture you could never recreate Write a song, make a note For the lump that sits inside your throat Change the locks, change the scene Change it all but can't change what we've been Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Your Trojan's in my head It's OK if it's gone The thoughts that you had that it was the one And oh what is left? For all those times is that what you get? Oh regardless The walls get painted anyway Oh you're guarding The gates, but it all got away Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Your Trojan's in my head Your Trojan's in my head Your Trojan's in my head Your Trojan's in my head Take it off, take it in Take off all the thoughts of what we've been Take a look, hesitate Take a picture you could never recreate Write a song, make a note For the lump that sits inside your throat Change the locks, change the scene Change it all but can't change what we've been Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head Your Trojan's in my head Take it off, take it in All the thoughts of what we've been Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
