lyrics

Everything I needed to say to you
I only said to myself in the mirror
it's hard to believe we used to be so close
now I know you as the disappearer

Back in the summer of twenty-eleven
you and I spent the week in heaven
it was two years longer falling out of the sky
I wonder when I'll fly again

How did I fall in love with a liar?
I thought I was done with fruitless desire
I was in a trance, we did the dance so smoothely
when you held me in your in hands, it really felt like you knew me

If this was just once in a lifetime, that's okay
now I want different things anyway
through the bad times I've found something good
and now I love myself in ways she never could
but I'd be a liar if I said I was all the way over anything
bring a new lover around and I still might sing the sting

and wonder how did I fall in love with a liar?
I wanted to be warm but I fell into the fire
I was in a trance, we did the dance so smoothely
When she held me in her hands, it really felt like she knew me

and I wanted her to give me what nobody can
to define my opinion of myself as a man
she did what she could, maybe even her best
but then I hypnotized myself out of leaving the nest
and I hypnotized myself out of doing my best
singing "Oh, Hypno
Oh, Hypno"
