Lyrics:

One, two, a one, two, three, four

This is no great illusion
When I'm with you, I'm looking for a ghost
Or invisible reasons
To fall out of love or run screamin' from our home

'Cause we live in a house of mirrors
We see our fears in everything
Our songs, faces, and secondhand clothes
But more and more, we're sufferin'
Not nobody, not a thousand beers
Will keep us from feelin' so all alone

But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
Pleading for you to take me back

And the phone is a fine invention
It allows me to talk endlessly to you
About nothin', disguising my intentions
Which, I'm afraid, my friend, are wildly untrue

It's a sleight of hand, a white soul band
The heart attacks I'm convinced I have
Every morning upon waking
To you, I'm a symbol or a monument
Your rite of passage to fulfillment
But I'm not yours for the taking

But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
So, I guess that's why you keep callin' me back

I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
A coward who paints a bullshit canvas
Things that will never happen to me
But at arm's length, it's Tim who said
I'm good at it, I've mastered it
Avoiding, avoiding everything

But you are what you love, Tim
Not what loves you back
And I'm in love with illusions
So saw me in half
I'm in love with tricks
So pull another rabbit out your hat
