The Con (song)

The Con is the second and last single from Tegan and Sara's fifth album of the same name, released on the 22nd February, 2008 only like two weeks after their last single, Back in Your Head. It was released as a download and on CD and it's now really rare to get. The cover is a bed with racoons under it, if you didn't notice.

It was written by Tegan and is possibly one of the most comforting songs ever omg. Tegan said what The Con was about saying that "once you get through the first three or four months, that’s when it all comes out.. that’s the con. You create this person that you’re going to be, and then it all falls apart."

Music video
The video for The Con shows Tegan in a tower block talking to a psychiatrist, while Sara is searching all over the building for her. Sara eventually climbs out of the window and onto the stairs outside and climbs to the room in which Tegan is in. The psychiatrist suddenly faints, when Sara knocks on the window. Tegan lets Sara in and they run out of the room and try to escape the building. Near the end of the video, there are parts where Tegan is in bed dreaming of her drowning in a bath. The video ends as Tegan manages to get herself out of the water, and she wakes up from the dream.

Lyrics
I listened in

Yes, I'm guilty of this

You should know this

I broke down and wrote you back

Before you had a chance to

Forget forgotten

I am moving past this

Giving notice

I have to go

Yes I know the feeling

Know you're leaving

Calm down, I'm calling you to say

I'm capsized

Erring on the edge of safe

Calm down, I'm calling back to say

I'm home now

I'm coming around

I'm coming around

Well, nobody likes to

But I really like to cry

Nobody likes me

Maybe if I cry

Spelled out your name and list the reasons

Faint of heart

Don't call me back

I imagine you

And I was distant, not insistent

I followed suit

And laid out on my back

Imagine that

A million hours left to think of you

And think of that

Calm down, I'm calling you to say

I'm capsized

Erring on the edge of safe

Calm down, I'm calling back to say

I'm home now

And coming around

I'm coming around

Well, nobody likes to

But I really like to cry

Well, nobody likes me

Maybe if I cry

Encircle me

I need to be taken down

Encircle me

I need to be taken down

Encircle me

I need to be taken down

Encircle me

I need to be taken down

Well, nobody likes to

But I really like to cry

Well, nobody likes me

Maybe if I cry

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody

Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody

Encircle me

I need to be taken down

Encircle me

I need to be taken down

Encircle me

I need to be taken down
