Lyrics:
Relient K Five Score Seven Years Ago

I better rest my eyes 'cause I am growing weary of This point you've been trying to make So rather than imply, why don't you just verbalize All the things

I was going to spell it out in full detail but I dropped the call before I spilled my guts But your floor stayed clean like my conscience will be 'Cause

Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of We're in the palm of a hand, making a fist It'd be best for one of us to speak up But we prefer to pretend

I made a habit of never making promises That aren't easy to keep And there you have it but now I'm making one That is to keep you here with me 'Cause

We should get jerseys 'cause we make a good team But yours would look better than mine 'cause you're out of my league And I know that it's so cliched

That night at the theater, an impersonator died And Mr. Booth was tried, I just kept the truth inside And in the courtroom, the judge will not catch wind

Yesterday was not quite what it could've been As were most of all the days before But I swear today, with every breath I'm breathing in I'll be trying

: That night at the theater An impersonator died Mr. both was tried i just kept the truth inside and in the court room the judge will not catch wind

: Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of We're in the palm of a hand making a fist It'd be best for one of us to speak up But we prefer to pretend
