The night my
Necklace fell off
You fluttered through my
Capillaries like a
Stoned moth

I agree with your ideas but not your tactics
So look me in the eye & be practical
When practically there's nothing left for me to say or do
It's only up to you

A live ladybug
Trapped between my toes
Keep it together man
We're all connected now
Stay composed

I agree with your ideas but not your tactics
So look me in the eye & be practical
When practically there's nothing left for me to say or do
It's only up to you

The current picture
The metronome:
I don't know what this is
But it's not my home


I thought that we were
Falling in love
But we weren't;
Only I was

I agree with your ideas but not your tactics
So look me in the eye & be practical
When practically there's nothing left for me to say or do
It's only up to you

    "Keep it together man We're all connected now Stay composed"

    He believes in a philosophy by which he considers all beings as part of a whole. Yet when he sees the subject of the song with someone else he can't help but feel emotion and jealousy. This is also represented in the lyrics:

    "I agree with your ideas but not your tactics"

    While he accepts this philosophy as basically valid, he still holds on to feelings of ownership and monogamy (for lack of better terms) through his actions. She, however, accepts the philosophy and acts accordingly.

    At least, this is how I take it.
