lyrics

Keep the rhythm up and
keep the timing up and
Don't let them know you've lost your place
Keep the curtains drawn and
keep the nightlight on
Disappear without a trace
I remember when, well,
things were different then
You said they'd never understand us

And all I want to know is that we're not so crazy
All I want to know is that we're not cracking up
Just a word or two
is all I need from you
And maybe, maybe, maybe
maybe that's enough

Keep your makeup on and
keep your cellphone on and
keep that suntan on your face
Keep the payments up and
keep on keepin' up
'cause everybody else is keeping pace
I remember when you
took me back again
You said you knew that we'd regret this

And all i want to know is that we're not so crazy
All i want to know is that we're not cracking up
Just a word or two
is all I need from you
and maybe, maybe, maybe

Safety bars on the roller coaster
don't fit right on my shoulders
I'm still afraid of falling out
Here comes another drop
I wish that you could make it stop
I'm tired of living upside-down

I want to know we're still getting somewhere
I want to know we're still doing it right
I wish you would tell me
we're all going crazy
But maybe, maybe, maybe
it's just me
it's just me
