lyrics

Give me fiction, darling
'Cause the truth is so alarming
I can't help it if these feelings never fade

Everything you know is fleeting
Those teenage dreams were so misleading
And life, it takes us off in unexpected ways

So much for things that haven't happened yet
So much for the sentiment

I fall so easily in every way
And I die a little every day
True love, oh, it's the whitest whale
For the drunken promises we make
And the sober hearts and bones we break
In balancing our tipping scales

Give me fiction, darling
'Cause the truth is so alarming
I can't help it if these feelings never fade
Give me fiction, darling
'Cause your words are just disarming
I can't help if this will not go away

I tried to quit you like an addict
Just one more pull then I'll kick the habit
And it's always just more of the same
It shouldn't come as a surprise
Those blue eyes complicate our lives
Time passes, nothing changes

Give me fiction, darling
'Cause the truth is just disarming
I can't help it if these feelings never fade
Give me fiction, darling
'Cause your words are just disarming
And I don't think that we'll ever be okay
