lyrics

There's a line outside of the only bar
That would let you in
No time to check your chin
I'm staring from the car just to see who wins
Go get your money's worth
I'll stop listening

Cause you hardly notice the wrapping paper
The steady light in the pouring rain
Not when you're too focused on what's up later
A reputation, the climbing ladder

Was it what you pictured when you were lonely?

Are you laughing now cause you know that I feel the same?

The chatterbox with the leather lips
Greeting innocence without an ounce of spit
You were teething on the newest path to fit
Making every move to get you on the list

Well,
The protein powder you're spooning all night
Has no idea what the riddle means
That's a fucking bottle you're studying
We wish we didn't have to keep the story lean

Was it what you pictured when you were lonely?

I've been lying hard cause I know that we feel the same

But you don't know how this seems to me
I'm whining just so you disagree
This wasn't what it was supposed to be tonight
Oh I,

Saw you standing by waiting for an answer
From your imitation of the proctor shopper
The mirror's alright at saving face
But they want a fool not another fake
