We Are Scientists - Textbook Lyrics






Falling over backwards for you
Falling over everybody else
I put myself in that position
Everytime I have the chance

I know it's not my business, to be
Digging up these things I shouldn't know
Twenty years of bad descisions
Havn't taught me much at all

Seperate events you're making
Everyone pretend it's not your fault
And all of this offence you're taking
Doesn't really bother me at all

Twist my arm 'cause that's the way you think you're gonna work this whole thing out
You know you own my body but don't think that you control my mouth

(having every question answered
Isn't gonna help at all?) [x3]
(having every question answered
Doesn't help)

When you're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
Anything

Another textbook situation
Everything I think I know I've read
What's the point of medication?
All it makes me wish; that I were dead

It's pretty clear that you are me
It's written here on every single page
I'm smitten but not stupid
I can read it all over your face

(having every question answered
Isn't gonna help at all?) [x3]
(having every question answered
Doesn't help)

When you're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
You're not supposed to know
Anything

You're not supposed to know
Anything

  1. B.... B....

    One time my ex went Sherlock Holmes and found out what she was suspicious of during a break up, her obsession drove her to her doom finding out the truth that she admits she wishes she never heard. Having every question answered can do more harm than help when your not supposed to know.

    Falling over backwards for you
    Fawning over everybody else
    I put myself in that position
    Every single time I have the chance

    I know it's not my business
    To be digging up these things
    I should have known
    Twenty years of bad decisions
    Haven't taught me much at all

    Separate events you're making
    Everyone pretend it's not your fault
    And all of this offense you're taking
    Doesn't really bother me at all

    Twist my arm, 'cause that's the way you think you're gonna work this whole thing out
    You know you own my body, but don't think that you control my mouth

    Having every question answered
    Isn't gonna help at all
    Having every question answered
    Isn't gonna help at all
    Having every question answered
    Isn't gonna help at all
    Having every question answered
    Doesn't help
