  • When you got that spiderbite on your hand
    I thought we would have to break up the band
    To lose your arm would surely upset your brain
    The poison then could reach your heart from a vein

    I was glad that it didn't destroy you
    How sad that would be
    'Cause if it destroyed you
    It would destroy me

    When you had that accident in your car
    That whole thing just really seemed too bizarre
    Dodging holes and telephone poles through the dash
    A million to one that you could survive such a crash

    I was glad it didn't destroy you
    How sad that would be
    'Cause if it destroyed you
    It would destroy me

    When you fell in love, it was sosweet
    So devoted, completely swept off your feet
    Love is the greatest thing our heart can know
    But the hole that it leaves in its abscence can make you feel so low

    And I was glad it didn't destroy you
    How sad that would be
    'Cause if it destroyed you
    It would destroy me Writer/s: MICHAEL IVINS, STEVEN DROZD, WAYNE COYNE
