The Hypothetical

Now you say I never turn you on like a radio
Now you say I never turn you on like a chemical
Nothing in the world ever seemed so wrong it’s unacceptable
Worried the results are too far gone it’s hypothetical
I get political it’s unavoidable these days

I know sometimes we don’t see eye to eye
And I can be inflexible
From where I sit the blatancy
Is well past incredible
Remember when we thought that nothing in the world
Could ever get between us
We laughed when we read that men are from mars
And women are from Venus

Lately people seem to say what they want
And somehow it makes it true
Every single day we’re made afraid
With this narrowing view
No one in my circle has ever accused me
Of being an optimist
But people are yelling out of car windows
Thinking they’re anonymous

Now you say I never turn you on like a radio
Now you say I never turn you on like a chemical
Nothing in the world ever seemed so wrong it’s unacceptable
Worried the results are too far gone it’s hypothetical
I get political it’s unavoidable these days

Everyone seems to love watching a train wreck
They say it’s human nature what would you expect
Welcome to the way the world erases itself
Maybe we should say our farewells

Please believe the things you see please believe in me
Know that what I say is true I am still in love with you
