Melrose Meltdown

Deep horrible blues

Watching you work the room

There's a frequency of trouble

In the car to Malibu

I'll be crying on your milk-white sheets

Hoping one day we'll marry

In a house you'll build around me

I guess I believe

I believe in old-fashioned things

Imagining us

But the longer I stay

I can see what's happening

What's happening

Welcome to my

Melrose meltdown

Nobody ever breaks up

We just break down

We really fucked it up

In diamonds and drug stores

That's what we came for

And when you get it, you got what you need

Handing out gold stars

For tailor-made behavior

I can see your team

Is shining like prizes

I'm sat out on the balcony

Too sad to go to the party

It's a crime loving you so

It's a crime letting you go

I guess I believe

I believe in old-fashioned things

Imagining us

But the longer I stay

I can see what's happening

What's happening

Welcome to my

Melrose meltdown

Nobody ever breaks up

We just break down

We really fucked it up

In diamonds and drug stores

That's what we came for

And when you get it, you got what you need

Got what you need

When you hang up and say

"I'll see you later"

Got what you need

Write it down

California paper

Got what you need

Forevermore my anti-hero

For loving and letting me go down, down

Welcome to my

Melrose meltdown

Nobody ever breaks up

We just break down

We really fucked it up

In diamonds and drug stores

That's what we came for

And when you get it, you got what you need

Welcome to my

Melrose meltdown (meltdown...)

We just break down (break down...)

(And when you get it, you got what you need)
