The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Lyrics
"Stand Off"

I couldn't be more confused,
but more than that I'm upset.
We once stood side-by-side,
we were young when we met.
We'd always stand together!
That's how we had it planned, now where to do we stand?
Ooh, I can't stand the pain!
I guess I don't understand,
I just don't understand this stand off.

There's a lot I don't understand,
we're apart and don't have to be!
What we know I don't know offhand,
I only know this is killin' me.

So I called your bluff, said I'd see you around.
But you stood tough. You stood your ground.
Now I'm standin' by,
tryin' to stand tall (now where do we stand OOooh?)
I'm standin' alone, don't understand this at all,
I just don't understand this stand off.

There's a lot I don't understand!
We're apart do we have to be?
What we know I don't know off hand,
I only know this is killin' me!

Now I'm standin' by!
Watchin' myself die!
Right besides myself like it isn't me it's someother guy!
And time's standin' still! And I'll stand here until!
I understand or you come back,
I really hope you will!

I don't understand where (understand where), we went wrong!
I don't understand how (understand how), we fell apart!
Did I wait too long to write this song?
I always thought I was smart!
