lyrics

Your tongue’s on mine, you pull away
Wait
For that same shit on a different day
Late
One night you told me ‘bout everything
Sing
Praises of some guy who means nothing
Sting

Optimistic
Hopes still dashed
Realistic
Tears are stashed

I heard you’re flirting with the line cook
And you’ve got him baited on your hook
But if you’re trying to trick me
Then can’t we make this easy?
And I
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
Whoa

Carry your books and your laundry
Flee
The scenes of where you two tend to be
Three
Weeks have passed without any contact
Stacked
Against the odds of who you attract
Subtract

Optimistic
Hopes still dashed
Realistic
Tears are stashed

I heard you’re flirting with the line cook
And you’ve got him baited on your hook
But if you’re trying to trick me
Then can’t we make this easy?
And I
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
Whoa

I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up

I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
I won’t try to mess you up
Whoa
