In The Room
that sounds like
such an unhappy message
you leave on your answering machine
maybe im reading too much into this
maybe youre unhappy with her
and you dont want to give
any wrong impressions
to anyone who calls
but I havent heard
from you in so long
and the message on the
answering machine
well, it isnt happy
I wonder what youre like
when you are happy
when youre interested
in talking
and you want
to smile more
and you want to live more
I want to know you when
youre like that
maybe you act that way
when youre around me
its been so long
since Ive talked to you
I cant say that
I know for sure
or maybe if you were happy
around me
well, maybe
you were just acting that way
to impress me
or to make you feel
better about yourself
or to impress someone else
in the room
I dont know
