Book Of Love by Jimmy Eat World Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wasn't worried about the small things
Tried to bury what they might or could have meant
And as far away as you could get, as distant as you'd ever been
You'd still love me

[Verse 2]
The book of love is fiction
Written by the loneliest to sing
Thinking they’re doing the best
Learning things they should forget
Until the end

[Chorus]
So maybe we should plan then
Who will go, and who will stay, and when
Until one of us can say it like it is
You've already made your own bed

[Verse 3]
Can you tell me what just happened?
Where's my girlfriend with her engine pinned red line?
I pick you up on Wednesday night
Go off on a secret ride
Like we were kids
[Verse 4]
Will we be alright?
I have never doubted it before my friend
Are they ever coming back again
Those feelings that we started with?
I'll give it time

[Chorus]
So maybe we should plan then
Who will go, and who will stay, and when
Until one of us can call it like it is
You've already made your own bed

[Post-Chorus]
I deserve the truth
But I'm so afraid of what it'd do
Finally seeing us for how it really is
I've been alone, just never known it

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
So maybe we should plan then
Of who will go, and who will stay, and when
Until one of us can say it like it is
You've already made your own bed
[Post-Chorus]
I deserve the truth
But I'm so afraid of what it'd do
Finally seeing us for how it really is
I've been alone, just never known it
