One of Plow Monday's most popular songs, it appears on their first album, Blank, as well as their newest record, Second Glance Appeal. It's an absolute roller coaster ride of a song, grabbing you from the very fist downbeat, sending you through twists and turns of melody and rhythm, and ends by thrusting you into the heart of the most basic emotion of need. | MP3.com CD: Blank - buy it!

Story Behind the Song
This song is actually written about two girls. The chorus was written about a girl Jonathan longed after for years, but couldn't get her to believe that being together would be a good idea.
But there were no words for any verses. Just a chorus.
Eventually, Jon started dating someone else. When that relationship ended abruptly, chance encounters between him and this girl made it obvious that there were some feelings between the two of them that everyone was afraid to bring up. The subject material fit the pre-existing chorus, and one of the band's best songs was born.

Lies
Words by Jonathan English
Music by Jonathan English and Plow Monday
She said I'm in your head again
You told her just the other day
I thought I'd felt it but you won't let me see it
Your face is calm, it doesn't show
You keep yourself in closed control
But I see you look at me
And I see you want to
I see it in your eyes
Three days ago I thought I'd cry
Two touches short of knowing why
One kiss away from falling back into you babe
Do you believe you're beautiful
Find out what you've been waiting for
Once choice away from being right
You will if you don't believe the lies
(Baby don't believe them)
Cause you're beautiful, you're good to me
You're everything I want you to be
And I believe in you, can you believe in me?
What we could be if you don't believe the lies
Only a fool goes rushing in
Just say those words to me again
If you could look me in the eye, I'd believe you
Four weeks of heaviness we bought
I paid the toll to get across
But you didn't come with me, no
You didn't come with me
I think you let me see enough
To keep me guessing, make it tough
Feels like you hurt me, babe
Is that what you wanted?
Cause first you take a stance of attack, and then you take it back
Can't stand the fact that I believe in that
Keep me further from the truth you don't think I see
Where to begin?
I start to think you'd rather believe
The lies
