"Wanting On Air" lyrics

Why did I even bother putting the mean puppet down?
I started being nice too soon, now I'm a salty peach
And we are nowhere near the mirror moment yet
Teach me how to be like you, simply out of reach
Simply out of reach

While painkillers reach for the stars, we hang around in black and white
Not noticing our heart's assassins approaching in unflattering light
Will our separate movies ever climax together
So I can hear the notes you're not playing to protect yourself?

Are you bored, are you busy, are you beyond comprehension?
You're being pretty cold, but that might not truly be your Intention
What's your intention? I need your attention

While painkillers reach for the stars, we hang around in black and white
Not noticing our heart's assassins approaching in unflattering light

You sang Superstar but do you really know what it is to pine?
I'm feeling the humiliation of wanting on air
Wanting on air wanting that which doesn't care
