Set Phasers To Stun Lyrics


Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes (say yes, say yes, say yes, say)

I'm sorry it took me so long,
I'm sorry it took me so long,
(to come around, to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long

Your famous last words started once your
Fingers hit the snooze,
"Just nine more minutes please" (and they)
They all know where to find me
And the word that I said
"what a big mistake"
And the words you let out ("keeping me away")
Well I will never make another promise
(without you)
Well I will never make another promise
(with you in mind)

So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long
(to go around, to go around)
I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long

Well there's a secret I've been perfecting,
That's what I wondered "would you let me"
I'm comfortably confused (and you)
You've gotten so removed
You know I, I could take the friends of those filth
Ocean blue, paint em white now
(ohh you're gonna fall tonight)
Well I will never make another promise
(without you)
I will never make another promise
(with you in mind)

So pace the stairs the stairs to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)
So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like that's where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be
(where you want to be)

Oh we would paint your sins on the ceiling
I keep them glued to my chest
It keeps me close like a promise kept
(say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)
If I talk in my sleep, then you just keep trying
I like it enough if you just keep trying
If I choke in my sleep
If I choke in my sleep
(say yes say yes say yes say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long
(say yes say yes say yes say yes)
I'm sorry it took me so long

So pace the steps to your apartment
Like its where you want to be
(where you want to be)
Where you want to be

Set Phasers To Stun
  • This is about a relationship that has just ended. The guy in the song has suspected it all along but he didn't dare confront his girlfriend about it until she told him. The chorus is him saying, "Fine, you go hang around your apartment like you really want to be there, but you're really miserable."
  • The title is a phrase often said on Star Trek when they needed their weapons, but didn't want to use deadly force.
  • The album title comes from the line in this song, "So pace the stairs to your apartment, like it's where you want to be."
