D-DU-UDU
---  2x
between  the stacks in the library
 not like anyone stopped to see
 we came they went, our bodies spent
 among the dust and the microfiche
 dark winters wear you down
 up again to see the dawn
 in your worn sweatshirt
 and your mothers  old skirt
  (same  as first  in chorus)
 its enough to turn my studies down
 now that you  feel,  you say it's not real  2x
i  never thought i would come of age
 let alone on a moldy page
 you put your back to the spines
 and you said  it was fine if there's nothing really left to say
you're  taking toffee with your vicodin
 something sweet to forget about him
 if you go your own way i will go  my own way
  (same  as first  in chorus)
 and well never speak of it again
 now that you  feel,  you say its not real  2x
