Stalemate Lyrics - High/low - Nada Surf

Stalemate, stalemate 

When do I jump out of the cake? 

Stalemate, stalemate 

When do we admit it's a fake? 

Stalemate, stale 

When do I jump out of the cake? 

I'm the nervous watcher 

And I watch 

Time to turn it on 

But I turn it off 

70% of the time 

I watch 

Useless and over the line 

Stuck 

Stalemate, jailbreak 

When do we admit it's not safe? 

It's not safe in a jail 

When do we admit it's not safe? 

It's not safe in a safe 

When do we admit it's not safe? 

I'm the nervous watcher 

And I watch 

Time to turn it on 

But I turn it off 

70% of the time 

I watch 

Useless and over the line 

Stuck 

Should have been a wreck 

Might have been a wreck 

I don't know how it can last 

I don't know why it doesn't crash 

Should have been a wreck 

Might have been a wreck 

I don't know how it can last 

I don't know why it doesn't crash 

Stalemate, stalemate 

When do I jump out of the cake? 

Stalemate, stalemate 

When do we admit it's a fake? 

Stalemate, stalemate 

Stalemate, stale 

Stalemate, stalemate 

When do I jump out of the cake?
