I wanted to say I was sorry for everything I ever did, but now I take it all back
The world wasn't happy, it didn't make a difference how we sinned
The blankets and the pillows were comfortable that night
I just wanted to interlock with you or die
But now I realize it may have been me and how I reacted to you
You, you, you and how you reacted to me
Love doesn't play that way 'cause that's the way it is, January 1st, 2K
And that's the way it is, January 1st, 2K
And that's the way it is
When I met you on the playground, you laughed like you meant it, I gave you a daisy
Hey don't blame me for the truth of the matter
We need to take big steps or we'll go home, we need to take grand steps or we'll be alone
We can't survive anymore 'cause it goes back to living
But when I'm with you, I enter a tunnel
When I'm with you, the sun burns up a light bulb
When did you say you'd forget me again?
So conveniently, like sipping two cups of coffee simultaneously
Now do you remember me? You act like we've never met before
But we're just two hurt kids on a field trip to the jungle
And that's the way it is
January 1st, 2000, January 1st, 2000
And that's the way it is
January 1st, 2000, January 1st, 2000
Our tests are fucking a testing test
I know the jungle smelled so much fresher than this
But it's ok, we can model our relationship off of others
We can pull it off without magic, we can do it in full color
The way you want to
Now I may have found you naked on the balcony taking steamy pictures
Sending them to me, but I can guarantee you don't have the answer to this next question
You don't have the answer to this next question
Have you ever seen a moth on a light bulb making love? Making love? Making love? Making love?
No of course you haven't 'cause that's the way it is
And now I'm gonna take it all back, I hate your guts 'cause that's the way it is in this place, in this time
That's the way it is
I can't scream this loud, I can't scream this loud
And that's the way it is, January 1st, 2K
I've made the world seem happy, I've paid the price already now let me in
