Front Row

Lyrics for Front Row

I know he's blood But you can still turn him away You don't owe him anything Do you go to the dungeon To find out how to make peace With your days in the dungeon? Writing a letter to you Didn't make me feel any more peaceful Than how I felt when we weren't speaking Because I didn't cop to what I did I can't love you because we're supposed to have professional boundaries I'd like you to be schooled and in awe As though you were kissed by God full on the lips I'm in the front row The front row with popcorn I get to see you, see you close up Slid into the ditch I have this overwhelming loss of ambition We said let's name thirty good reasons Why we shouldn't be together I started by saying things like 'you smoke' 'you live in New Jersey' You started saying things like 'you belong to the world' All of which could have been easily refuted But the conversation was hypothetical I am totally short of breath for you Why can't you shut your stuff off? I'm in the front row The front row with popcorn I get to see you, see you close up For a while I'm speaking You know how much you hate to be interrupted Maybe spend some time alone Fill up your proverbial cup So that it doesn't always have to be about you I've been wanting your undivided attention I like the fact that you're nothing like me Are you not burdened by the lack of perspective people Have of your charmed life (seemingly)? I'm in the front row The front row with popcorn I get to see you, see you close up Hey I'm not mad at you guardian I'm mad at myself for spending so much time with you and your Jekyll and Hyde-ness I'm glad I figuratively slapped you on the wrist You laughed a wicked laugh and said 'come here let me clip your wings' (I know he's blood but you can still turn him away you don't owe him anything) 'Raise the roof' he yelled 'yeah raise the roof' I yelled back (Unfortunately you need a health scare to re-prioritize) No thanks to the soap box Having me rile against them won't make an ounce of difference I'm in the front row The front row with popcorn I get to see you, see you close up
