lyrics

don't judge a book by its cover
and don't judge a girl by her mother
the pages and ages between make her story her own

and old archetypes
don't do justice to life
or these characters that i have known

'cause villains and heroes are only a matter
of timing and point of view
we all like to think that we must be the latter
but how could that be true?

the fewer the words the better
we're not getting paid by the letter
so save us the trouble and save yourself some paper and ink

the words left unsaid
and those lines left unread
almost always mean more than you'd think

'cause villains and heroes are only a matter
of timing and point of view
i'd like to believe that i might be the latter
but what would that make you?

'cause villains and heroes are only a matter of timing and point of view
i cling to the hope that i must be the latter
but what does that make you?

our favorites are dog-eared and torn
they're coffee stained, withered and worn
they're dry and they're sweet and they're falling apart at the spine

they lay in our beds
they play in our heads
and their stories get better with time
