about

Top it off, that’s good
Somewhere in the neighborhood of
Feelin a little bit better than before
Lock it down, I should
Really just be leaving soon
But I know that once I walk through that door

It’s goodbye to fakin it
I’d blow my chance of makin it
Through one night without actin a fool
So goodnight to all of it
I’ll take the shot just swallow it
Cuz I just might begin to lose my cool, So I just

Take the edge off, Put a new one on
Sharpen up
Look down, then
Pick a face that, Says that nothin’s wrong
Better yet
Picturesque it’s just
A mask that, I hope you don’t see through
Good god
You’re gorgeous in this
Light that’s, Filling up the room
Yet only seems to shine on you

Knock it off I said
To the voices in my ringing head
I’m balancin on the edge of bad to worse
Spit it out just then
Didn’t mean to say that, it’s all pretend
But that’s not the case and now you’ve heard

You’re speaking so intimate
There’s a good chance it’s deliberate
But I won’t be the first to make a move
You’re closer than I wanna be
I’m losin cool and you’re onto me
I blew my cover now I’m a mess it’s true, so I just

Take the edge off, Put a new one on
Sharpen up
Look down, then
Pick a face that, Says that nothin’s wrong
Better yet
Picturesque it’s just
A mask that, I hope you don’t see through
Good god
You’re gorgeous in this
Light that’s, Filling up the room
Yet only seems to shine on you

You always seem to catch me at my worst
Soon all of this will be a shameful blur

Then a shock of clarity
I step back I’m a parody
Of everything I said I wouldn’t do
Mumble an apology
I’m fightin back biology
Step outside and make good use of my shoes

Take the edge off, Put a new one on
Sharpen up
Look down, then
Pick a face that, Says that nothin’s wrong
Better yet
Picturesque it’s just
A mask that, I hope you don’t see through
Good god
You’re gorgeous in this
Light that’s, Filling up the room
Yet only seems to shine on you

This could get so bad, and we both know it’s true
