about

This track is my favorite lyric. It's all about the most disastrous relationship I ever found myself in, and my backwards rationale for staying in it way, way, way too long.

lyrics

Hello (Won't You Go Away)

Hello (la di di da)
Hello (la di di da)
Hello, won't you go away?

Think I had a thought, then a twist in the plot
And the mind had gone astray
But the truth of the matter, took the stairs to the ladder
And I still wouldn't go away
It's such a pleasure, the two of us together
You left the right side of my brain
Never really know until you step into the rain
Bottom of the mountain, top of the plain

I'm a lot like you, I enjoy being used
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy the abuse

Hello
Hello
Hello, won't you go away?

True to the disease I got a fear of paranoia
And I approach it from the the front cause the side is gonna warn ya
I evolved into Erectus, but I'm feeling kind of weary
All this standing on my feet and now my posture's getting heavy
It's the power of perception, provides the misdirection
The flashing of the lights to try and blind the imperfections
And I'm staring at the signs that my ignorance ignored
I was climbing through the window cause the warning's on the door
And I thought, oh what a favor to let me taste the flavors
Of all the fluids we exchanged
Never really realized the things you took away
And now I'm standing in the back and I wish you'd do the same
But I got everything I need, I got expired medications
I got frivolous pursuits, I got a taste of motivation
I got locks in the safe, still they're feeling paranoid
But I got crayons in the cranium to decorate the voids
It's such a pleasure, the two of us together
You left the right side of my brain
Never really know until you step into the rain
Bottom of the mountain
Top of the plain

I'm a lot like you, I enjoy being used
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy the abuse
I'm a lot like you, I enjoy being used

Hello
Hello
Hello, won't you go away?
Go away, go away, yeah
