lyrics

So you want it, well be honest

You can have it on lock-down

Let’s talk now

It started in mid August

And you had the top down

When it was hot out



She spotted
 the corner of my pocket

Where the rubber just popped out

Said she nearly forgot how

I told her 
“It’s probably already over

And the mood has been knocked down”

She said “you can stop now”

And if I talk myself up
 she wont hang on every word

She’ll see right through the 
helpless anti-social extrovert

If she don’t give me hell it makes me leave all that behind

But somewhere that’s easy to find


Well you’ve got it
, just stay on it

And you’ll keep me on lock-down

Just try not to talk down

I bought in 
all your sayings and sonnets

And your pitches were not foul

Let’s keep it on top now


And if she talks herself up 
I will hang on every word

I’m blind to the fact that I’m
 selfless and she just might leave me hurt

But I won’t give her hell if she just
 leaves this all behind

Cause I’ll be easy to find


And if I talk myself down
 will she pull me off the ledge
?
Or will she leave me scraping by the
 nails onto the edge

And something doesn’t add up but I pretend it’s all fine

Cause nothing is easy to find
