i never even had an interest in
settling down until i met you
i didn�t know if it was a good idea to let you in; nevertheless, i let you
in the interest of being amicable
i vote we put the past behind us
see all those despicable little details
they nitpicked us and lied to us
in the interest of tracing
the steps back to the root of the problem
we investigated
far too deeply in the bottom
our inner demons
they tore us apart
i thought i was close
but i was so far
we exorcised our demons,
whether or not we mean it
In the interest of healing,
let us close the wound now that it is treated
there is only one thing i miss
my interest in you won�t diminish
in the interest of putting an end to it
i plead we reconcile this argument
you stand there with hands on hips
eyes locked to mine and pursed lips
if you wanted to read me
now would be � in the interest of honesty �
perfect timing
as I lay my heart on my sleeve
i�m an open book
in the interest of not being overlooked
these crazy ideas you cooked up
that there was something amiss
and you mistook
my cowardice for animosity
my comma splice for a pause-too-long atrocity
in the interest of avoiding surcharges, we always rode economy
there is only one thing i miss
my interest in you won�t diminish
i never was very interested
in wearing a crown
the burden of ruling upright
left me down with frown
in the interest of packing the room
with an agreeable crowd
i suggest we top the drinks
with another free round
everyone has got their pace
and you had yours
i�ve got my price; i paid it at least twice before I learned
you were in too deep to deny
but in the interest of honesty,
i honestly don�t know why
i said those things that made you cry
there is only one thing i miss
my interest in you won�t diminish
