Switcheroo

Switcheroo

Well, out by the lake and it’s late
And the moon is a saint
And you’re baiting me, baiting me
With your give and take

But then you pull the old switcheroo
The switcheroo
Well, now I’m blue
And it’s a long ride home

Well, start to undress and
The rest is a mess of
Catching your breath and
Chasing down your consciousness

But then you pull the old switcheroo
The switcheroo
Now I’m blue
And it’s a long ride home

Well just give me one more chance
I’ll state my intentions in advance:
To take it slow
Oh, take it slow

Begin with a button
And whisper sweet nothin’s
And end up with somethin’
A lot more like grown-up fuckin’

But then you pull the old switcheroo
The switcheroo
Now I’m still blue
And it’s a long ride home

Now I’m still blue
And it’s a long ride home

Switcheroo – The Hell Yeahs

Well you’re a likeable guy
And it breaks my heart to say
I’m working the other side
And I can’t walk away
So put me outta your mind
And open up that safe
I’m only counting to five
Don’t do this the hard way

I really thought you were nice
So in another life
I’ll see you right side up, untied in a world you knew
Just give me one more kiss and I’ll give you this
This switcheroo

Ya know I’m not made of stone
And I hate to break this news
But don’t you reach for the phone
I’m sorry you got used
And now the matter at hand
I won’t leave without it
And now that you got me mad
Now, you made me do this

I really thought you were nice
So in another life
I’ll see you right side up, untied in a world you knew
Just give me one more kiss and I’ll give you this
This switcheroo

Switcheroo - echovoodoo

It seems my little world has gotten a little more confusing
Topsy-turvy upside down and twisted through and all around
You didn't tell me exactly why it is you decided to leave
Or if you did for some reason I just didn't hear the sound

And what do you do when your world changes in unexpected ways
And what do you do when you can't understand?

I thought we had our plans and expectations somewhat worked out
Had a sense of who we are and where we're going next
So it seems a little sudden now for you to say it's over
Without any sufficiently explanatory audio or text

And what do you do when your world changes in unexpected ways
And what do you do when you can't understand?
I feel a little lost and a lot confused by recent events
Something that matters fell out of my hands

So what can I say
Would it matter anyway
My mind's a mess
But that is no surprise I guess
What would you do
With this sudden switcheroo
Would you ever say
There could have been another way

There doesn't seem to be much sense in hanging on right now
The finality of your choice well it really hit me hard
So I gotta find my way to making up a new purpose in my life
Find a new direction so that I can start moving forward

And what do you do when your world changes in unexpected ways
And what do you do when you can't understand?
I guess I'll embrace this freedom that's been forced on me
Instead of standing here with empty hands
