You've been talking for an hour,

and I swear to God that I can't hear a word you say

So would you come to me, come to me

I get caught up and the waves of conversation they wash over me

And they cover me, they cover me



Should I just pack my things and leave

Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart

and dared you to come in

I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it

But hurts a funny thing and it makes you stronger



[chorus:]

All is nothing in moderation

It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger

Well I believe I'm just plain tired



There's a funny way your lip shakes when I know that you've been lying,

and it touches me

It comforts me, it comforts me

I guess I should be satisfied, did you say you love me half the time

Well let's settle there, we can build from there, build from there



Would you be happier if I was only half the man I am

You could shadow me and dare me to come in

I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it

But it really doesn't matter when you stop to think about it



[CHORUS]



The end is coming she don't even feel it

It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy

Well I believe I'm just plain tired, I'm tired (oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)



Should I just pack my things and leave

Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart

and dared you to come in

I can lie to you, say I didn't mean it

But hurts a funny thing, hurts a funny thing



[CHORUS]



The end is coming she don't even feel it

It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy

Well I believe I'm just plain tired, tired



Well all is nothing in moderation

Dirty feeling, strange sensation-acap
