Alex in Wonderland Lyrics

If you’re walking home tonight,
Say your prayers, keep to the streetlights.
I know I’m on your mind
With the worst intentions.
And I'm working up
The guts to say you weren't enough.
Fuck what your friends will say;
I never was about you anyway.

And I know
It's not me—
It's your ruse and cigarettes,
Your lack of sensibility.
So let go,
Forget me;
You’re lost just like the rest
And not taking my stability.

You’re love’s pariah, her renegade;
I know it’s not in my head,
It’s not in my head.
You’re a walking disaster, you need to grow up.
I wish you nothing more.
Nothing more, nothing more.

It’s bad enough
That every day I can’t wake up;
And I can't sing along to songs about me.
And I'm working up
(I'm working up)
The guts to say you weren't enough.
So fuck what your friends will say;
Alex is a boy's name anyway.

And I know
It's not me—
It's your ruse and cigarettes,
Your lack of sensibility.
So let go,
Forget me;
You’re lost just like the rest
And not taking my stability.

You’re love’s pariah, her renegade;
I know it’s not in my head,
It’s not in my head.
You’re a walking disaster, you need to grow up.
I wish you nothing more.
Nothing more, nothing more.

I’m jaded, so jaded,
And I wish you nothing more.
I’m jaded, so jaded,
And I wish you nothing more.

You’re love’s pariah, her renegade;
I know it’s not in my head,
It’s not in my head.
You’re love’s pariah, her renegade;
I know it’s not in my head,
It’s not in my head.
You’re a walking disaster, you need to grow up.
I wish you nothing more.
Nothing more, nothing more.

You're a walking disaster,
If I knew one.

Cover art for Alex in Wonderland lyrics by This Time Next Year

This is the first song by them I've gotten into. The chorus has an awesome melody to it. I'm looking forward to exploring these guys a bit more.

Song Meaning- I'm thinking this is about a guy who has just recently gotten over/come to his sense about his ex. ((I'm working up the guts/to say you weren't enough)) She's a crazy, manipulative woman (your ruse and cigarettes, your lack of sensibility) (I know it's not in my head) who is immature and is headed toward a bleak future. It's basically a situation where she broke his heart, but he realizes that she's screwed without him and that he's better off on his own. (your love's pariah) -Sean

Yea I agree. That's what I thought it was about
