lyrics

Let's pretend you've got me figured out
down to decorated lapels and stray hairs;
I see you calculating answers,
balancing lies like your father's ledger.

Maybe that profile you've built
puts across a certain image,
but I've been at this a while
and I've got fronts on fronts
on fronts.

From nightclub scene to in your bed
I'm trying to make you forget
the details of the ties we've formed
and the lives on which we've bet.

And in a certain state of mind
I'm sure you would agree,
whatever deals that I've cut
will only help you and me.
'Cause when the lights all go out
and there's nothing left to see,
we'll be warm and safe and still
living quite carefree.

When those morals finally sink in
and you're wondering what you're in to,
all I ask is that you remember
where you were before you found
your way.

From nightclub scene to in your bed
I'm trying to make you forget
the details of the ties we've formed
and the lives on which we've bet.

And in a certain state of mind
I'm sure you would agree,
whatever deals that I've cut
will only help you and me.
'Cause when the lights all go out
and there's nothing left to see,
we'll be warm and safe and still
living quite carefree.
