Heartworms (flipped) Lyrics - The Shins

Well I guess I'm just here to test your patience 

'Cause you're so smart my tricks don't work at all 

Is it my lack of education? 

Just tell me why you never call 

Behind your symmetry lies a fundamental difference 

There are those who own the mines and those who crawl 

No offense but, in between the lines I'm reading 

You look out for your own 

And you ain't gonna look at me that way 

And it's true 

So what can I do?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Anything to get some of your affection 

(What can I do?) 

Maybe impress you with a song 

(What can I do?) 

I'm trying to minimize the damage 

done 'cause there ain't no one like you 

I found the postcard from that trip you took to Thailand 

I remember studyin' all the words written in your pretty hand 

The little lines and little curves that held a sacred meaning 

Or so I thought 

But I had it wrong 

Now I'm trying to figure out when it was you gave me these heartworms 

I feel them wriggling in my blood, you gonna do me harm 

Right now I'd rather lose this losing 

feeling 

That came on when you cooled off 

Started treating me in this friendly way 

Photos 

And it's true 

So what can I do? 

Oh won't you be still for a moment 

(What can I do?) 

So I can push a feather through your heart 

(What can I do?) 

I'm trying to minimize damage done cause there ain't no one like you 

Tell me what can I do? 

(What can I do?) 

When I get lonely to distraction 

(What can I do?) 

Maybe impress you with a song 

(What can I do?) 

No easy way around it 

You're the saddest dream that ever came true
