I Put the 'Abs' In Abstinence Lyrics
So how's your affair
With the millionaire with silver hair?
Does he care?
Your love affair, I am aware
Is void of love indeed
The greatest weight of all
Towers over your shoulders
While the longest wait of mine
Keeps playing over and over
These are simple times
And now I miss your simple pleasures
A substance state of mind
What I had left to treasure
I know it's been a while
But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you'd let me in
So look at you now
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes
It would make my life to see you turn
I'd finally make my case
You'd, you'd run away and come with me
To destroy the human race
The greatest weight of all
Towers over your shoulders
While the longest wait of mine
Keeps playing over and over
These are simple times
And now I miss your simple pleasures
A substance state of mind
What I had left to treasure
I know it's been a while
But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you'd let me in
So look at you now
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes
You're not here
Every night is a nightmare
So look at you now
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes
Just say you're never gonna do it again
With the millionaire with silver hair?
Does he care?
Your love affair, I am aware
Is void of love indeed
Towers over your shoulders
While the longest wait of mine
Keeps playing over and over
And now I miss your simple pleasures
A substance state of mind
What I had left to treasure
I know it's been a while
But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you'd let me in
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes
I'd finally make my case
You'd, you'd run away and come with me
To destroy the human race
Towers over your shoulders
While the longest wait of mine
Keeps playing over and over
And now I miss your simple pleasures
A substance state of mind
What I had left to treasure
I know it's been a while
But I swear you wouldn't be so lonely
If only you'd let me in
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes
Every night is a nightmare
The spark in your eyes is gone, somehow
I wish you would hang up and turn around
And let me see those eyes
They'd be the same brown eyes

"the wrong way to find"

Awesome. Thanks, Kevin. :)
The song title alone is enough to make me fall in love with this song.
the lyrics make me bawl. they mean a lot to me.
I Put The 'Metro' In Metronome I Put The 'Abs' In Abstinence
Powerspace Puts The 'Copy' In Copycats (lol)
Good band, good song, it's just that the title isn't that unique. Ohwell =]
