you took em by surprise, you roll those crazy eyes,
like the letter, the things inside your head
i can't make up my mind, you know that that's a lie
i really have no decision to be amde

you took me by surprise
you took me by surprise

and then you amde me laugh and now i have a question,
"did you have to do that?"
i feel so dumb inside, i'm tryign to decide
but you'd never await my arrival

you took me by surprise
you took me by surprise

i lke to put myself, pretend i'm soneoen else
someoen who could write better words than this:

you took me by surprise
you took me by surprise

you took me by surprise, you roll those crazy eyes,
like the letter, the things inside your head
i can't make up my mind, you know that that's a lie
i really have no decision to be made

walking in the park
when everything went dark,
i thougth i saw your picture i the shadows
but i wasnt that at all, in fact
it was my car
it was someone laughing making me feel small

maybe i shuld explain, the best that i can
but that would get me in trouble,
maybe more than i could handle, i feel bad right now
i know that i'm not lucky, so i'll keep my mouth shut and i'll just save it for anyone,
and "what's that?" you might ask, and i will say, "i really don't know,
i was just being dramatic like a television show"

some day i will slip, and i'll say the wrong thing,
and the credits will roll and reality will kick in
and i say some day i will slip, and i'll say the wrong thing,
and the credits will roll and reality will kick in
