The Package Lyrics


Clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
Eye on what I'm after
I don't need another friend

Smile and drop the cliche
'Til you think I'm listening
Take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Peripheral on The Package
Don't care to settle in
Time to feed the monster
I don't need another friend

Comfort is a mystery
Crawling out of my own skin
Just give me what I came for
I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get just what I need
Lie to get what I crave
Lie and smile to get what's mine

Eye on what I'm after
I don't need another friend
Nod and watch your lips move
If you need me to pretend

Because clever got me this far
Then tricky got me in
I'll take just what I came for
Then I'm out the door again

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I'm craving
Lie and smile to get what's mine

Give this to me
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine

Lie to get what I came for
Lie to get what I need now
Lie to get what I crave
Lie to smile and get what's mine

Give this to me
Take what's mine
Mine, mine, mine
Take what's mine

Give this to me

Take what's mine
Take what's mine
Mine
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
Take what's mine
This is mine
Mine
All mine

The Package
  • The lyrics seem to indicate sex; perhaps a one-night-stand with somebody: "Eye on what I'm after, I don't need another friend." The subject is after something that has planned using clever motives and tricks, he's not looking for a friend: "I'll take just what I came for, then I'm out the door again."
  • Another interpretation for this song is that it may concern the use of drugs: "Peripheral on the package, Don't care to settle in." The subject is set on doing what it is he/she has to do and leave. (thanks, Justin - Sierra Vista, AZ)
