[Verse 1: Walter Schreifels]
'Member conversations witnessed in the distance
Pouring over notes and records to paranoid detectives
[Pre-Chorus: Walter Schreifels]

The song you wrote about the many phases you've been through
I was there too
And I remember it perfectly
[Pre-Chorus: Walter Schreifels]
Surrendering positions, I cave to your conditions

Everywhere, I see you, what are you looking for?
[Interlude: Walter Schreifels]
Answer before the first ring
There's no reason for this call
I don't even know why you're not calling anymore
[Chorus: Walter Schreifels]
Pouring over notes and records
Paranoid detectives
It's nothing that we're hiding anymore
Pouring over notes and records
Paranoid detectives
It's nothing that we're hiding ... anymore

[Chorus: Walter Schreifels]
Pouring over notes and records
Paranoid detectives
It's nothing that we're hiding anymore
Pouring over notes and records
Paranoid detectives
It's nothing that we're hiding
