Consolation Prize - Washington

I’m gonna say that I am all for

Whatever you say that you’re all for

I think you know that I am awful

Like that

And if you tell me that you like that

I will say I always was like that

I think you know that I would like that

Like this

Why don’t you tell me that you dream about me?

Why can’t you tell me what’s behind your eyes?

Why don’t you say that you can’t live without me?

Why does it feel like I’m a compromise?

And if I see you at a gallery

Or when I see you at that show

I’ll say hello all kinds of casually

Like I was always gonna go

It only takes a little effort

It only takes a little time

A little madness in the method

But I’m gonna change your mind

Tell me that you dream about me

And that you see me when you close your eyes

Why can’t you say that you can’t live without me?

And that I’m not a consolation prize?

Didn’t I make you feel good?

Didn’t I, didn’t I make you feel good?

Didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I?

Tell me that you dream about me

And that you see me when you close your eyes

Why don’t you say that you can’t live without me?

And that I’m not a consolation prize?

Tell me that you dream about me

And that you see me when you close your eyes

Go on and say that you can’t live without me

And that I’m not a consolation prize
