Everything isn't always what you think it is in life, ahuh
Sometimes...

He used to run in circles though his world's not round
'til she took his hand and led him to the barriers of passion
Climbing the steps to mind sex is how they got down
She knew his hunger but she only thought to serve him prison rations
Walked with a switch but no one seemed to turn her on
They couldn't find it to operate her main frame circuitry
He was the F word in her vocab, a shoulder to cry on
And she was the only one that never asked the meanings of his songs
She liked ice skating, jazz clubs, card games, and wino
He's hesitating to shed blood from these veins of time
He was falling 'til he chose to pick up his feet and walk
No more crawlin' while pluckin' from sound gardens when they talked
Every stop light fueled his plight reflecting where he stood
Though he tried to reason with god and he tried knockin' on wood
Every step that he took got him closer to the edge
As he choked on the liquifying of all the words he said
He didn't want to admit his feelings, tried to hide 'em up his sleeves
But the butterflies made a nest in his mind and wouldn't leave
She always introduced I love you's and they were met with same reply
Always asked if he would come over when she needed to cry
He knew he didn't want to, but he said yes with a sigh
Wondering if tonight she'd make a move and if she didn't why
She never gave him any signs that she was interested
But gave a great massage prompting the rise of his instrument
But that was it, she never took it any further
In his mind, this friendship's capsized the water was gettin' colder
So one day on his way home he made a U and headed back
Cause he needed to get a few bricks off his chest, so with that
He tapped on the door, took her a while, but she let him in
She was in her robe, incence was lit and scented candles were burning
She asked what was wrong, he asked if she was busy
Cause the thought of her with another man, made his head start spinning
Then he heard a voice from the bedroom and his mouth dropped
Saw a figure start down the hall then his heart stopped
The figure came closer, he couldn't believe what he saw
Felt like the pig that built his sanity from straw
It reached the end of the hall, he didn't know where to begin
And she was like, by the way, I never introduced you to my girlfriend
Life isn't always what it seems, most dreams can turn to nightmares
You try but you can't achieve, even though your goal is right there
Love isn't always in your reach, you try to teach but you won't survive
So many times you know you should speak, but you didn't think the relationship would capsize

Life isn't always what it seems
You try but you can't achieve
Love isn't always in your reach
So many times you know you should speak
Capsize
