lyrics

I’ve had a coffee every hour - it’s lost its power since we had that baby of ours.
She has the most beautiful eyes. I saw you cry when they turned green like mine.

Where was she when I was sad and young, mad at some man I hadn’t become?
What is this one life that I live? This drug I skip? This love I give?

If some of the luster is gone,
I will muster a song.
I will buy my own con.

It goes like: we love like we’re young, we fake like we’re strong.
This life must be long.

I confess I’ve been a hypocrite, got conceited, got used to it.
But this is considered. There are no mistakes. This is fully baked. These are the breaks.

If you listen close, I’ll tell you things I know and admit what I don’t. I’ll lose my control.

But if some of the luster is gone
I will muster a song
I will buy my own con.

It goes like: we love like we’re young, we fake like we’re strong.
This life must be long.
Stop me if I’m...
