You woke up with a target painted on your back
Half caught in a panic, other half on the attack
Well maybe you could take your hands off the aerosol
Cause the night before you took it too far
Dance around the subject like you know what you want
Give me something effable and take it apart
Show me how to execrate, I'll show you my cards
Shatter my dignity and I'll play the favorite part
The words it carved in my chest will tell you what you need to do
Put a hole in my head
And let it start with something new
Just like you always do
Did we have to cut this off at cordial how-do-you-do's
Abnormally obsessed with your own state of mind
And with the top scraped off of the pickup truck
It's always so hard to move
Through waist-high weeds
You're fogging up my eyes
Why do you always have to take it too far
Dance around the subject like you know what you want
Give me something effable and take it apart
Show me how to execrate, I'll show you my cards
Shatter my dignity and I'll take it too far
Just to circumvent their efforts like it's something to want
Give it everything and nothing, all the same, it's your call
Just another way to escalate the tensions in the scars
You can shatter my dignity and I'll play the favorite part

You take it for granted, the second chance
Been trying to reset, but you're holding me back
The things that we promised I never meant
And my mind wanders to this place
I hope that yours still does the same
And maybe some day I'll find you
And we'll bring it back to the beauty that once grew

It's a long way back and I think we're acting up again
Standing up too fast, couldn't gauge a reaction
Just to send a different message into the back room
Cause like all of the time, it's running past you
And so I'll run time back and I'll bring up the past
You got that chip-up on your shoulder and a drink in your flask
But I'd still walk you home if you ever could ask
How reductive could it get in the last quarter
Draw a line in the sand, they're always forcing my hand
It's overdue to adjust the order
So kill it off where it stands
Too busy making demands
We've got a problem and it's toeing the border
Divert my steady gaze
You can't always take the easy way out
Won't fix the empty ache
Knew you'd never re-reciprocate
You're only ever gonna take it too far
(Why do you always have to take it too far)
You're only ever gonna take it too far
