Tell me a secret, tell me anything
What's your weapon? What's your middle name?
What do you believe in? What's your animal?
Are you a cat or a dog person?
What's your outlook? What's your favorite saying?
Hey, maybe you laugh, maybe you laugh a lot
Maybe you started, but you somehow quit the part
Or you may be a hippie and a democrat,
Yeah I remember that, I think
And you might like wine, but you're not the type who likes to drink
What made me forget everything I know?
All my beliefs, replaced by scenarios
Of unintelligent life, echoing in stereo
On invisible mics, wired into my mind
So I would like another look inside you,
Yes I would love the chance to love you, like I've never known you
Or maybe you're sleeping on a telephone.
And maybe you're dreaming of an anglophone with a crooked smile
And maybe your profile, posts a brand new nose
And maybe your new job, it requires that you cannot wear any clothes.
What made me forget everything I know?
All my beliefs, replaced by scenarios
Of unintelligent life, echoing in stereo
On invisible mics, wired into my mind
So I would like another look inside you,
Yeah I would love the chance to love you, like I've never known you
Maybe your favorite color is brown,
And maybe you're crying and you're not sure why
Maybe you're living in a whole new town
And maybe you're back with your old boyfriend and you're busy going down.
What made me forget everything,
All my beliefs, all my memories
All the episodes of you, especially the ones that hurt
And even the few that made me laugh
Well I can't get them back,
So I would like another look inside you
Yes I would love the chance to love you
I would love to love you!
What made me forget everything I know?
All my beliefs, replaced by scenarios
Of unintelligent life, echoing in stereo
On invisible mics, wired into my mind
So I would like another look inside you,
Yeah I would love the chance to love you, I would love to love you
I would love the chance to love you, like I've never known you.
