I Hope Ants Crawl Under Your Eyelids Songtext
von Art for Starters

I′ll leave so long as you do not say I'm wrong
I need affirmation to prove that I haven′t given up
Is it yours to take, all the efforts that I gave
While I've been exhausted with your weight
When all that you offer is complaint. "Oh no..."

Not what I asked for, this is not what I'm getting into
Can you take it? I′m sorry if I fail
Can you take it? I′m sorry for that too
This is not what I don't even ask for from you

Leaving on my own terms!
Living in my own daylight
Inviting more
I′m waiting in the valley below

I'm leaving on my own terms!
Waiting on any old day I might
I took a bite and I liked it!
But I fight it


I know I could be happy for the first time in my life
And I see it, but I stall it, ′cause I don't know if it′s what I want
I might be happy for the first time in my life

I don't want to talk, 'cause my words always fail
You know by the way I walk that I stutter step. (While I catch my breath)
And I just lost my thought; I guess it′s just as well

(I won′t go...) I've been a burden to you much too long
(And i still don′t go) I'd like to apologize, but the words all come out wrong
It′s not like the first time that we spoke--the words came out right--I was just trying to impress you


Standing on a corner on a Saturday night
And the signs of life are shining, but there's none that you like
′Cause you're standing on a corner on a Saturday night
And you're trying to be patient, but you′re way short on time
(I know I could be happy for the first time in my life)
And you′re standing on a corner on a Saturday night
And you bide your time and swallow anything for your pride
But it's bound to bind your motor skills and leak out your eyes
′Cause you can't control behavior when it might paralyze
(I know I could be happy for the first time in my life)
Derelict and truant terror under tux, tails and ties
When we′re standing on a corner on a Saturday night
And the way this moments going, well you know it ain't right
(No one can tell you who you are no more)
Drop a pill in friendly glasses, but don′t forget to stir the wine!
(Hah-Hah-Hah-Hey!)

Standing on the corner on a Saturday night
Now, I'm learning that I'll never be the type that you like
Still, I′m standing on the corner on a Saturday night
Just keep waiting. I′ll be saying all the words that you like
(Any day I'm a star who′d rape the world)
While I squint my eyes in wonder as I watch for the sign
But the light burns out my retina as I look to the sky
And I'm thinking time was wasted on the days you were blind
When I was standing on the corner on a Saturday night
And the things we have in common are the things that we hide
When we′re standing on the corner on a Saturday night
