Linying - All Of Our Friends Know

Man what a surprise, you’re pulling up
with all of your feelings down at this speakeasy
Where we’re knocking our teeth, kissing like in dreams
Sober for the first time
I don’t know what to say now that you’ve
made such a roundabout confession; I’ve got my own questions
about how we make each other make bad decisions

But there’s some kind of precision in both our thinking
I know when I’m faking, and this ain’t like it
I’m saying what you’re saying

Said we’d be better than them but we’re the same
I’m taking your hand and now we’re taking the blame
I think I could love you
I wanna be good, babe, I wanna be free
I see it in you, I know you see it in me
I think I could love you

Even then, I’m tiptoeing with my lightest steps
and I’ve inherited all of my dad’s bad habits:
I won’t be coming to yours
I won’t be saying the word
I want to hear it from you first
Wear it out of you like I do my best blue jacket
We’re downtown Austin causing a racket
By now all of our friends know
It’s time to get gone
It’s time to go home

And the timing’s not yet right
But there’s something undeniable
I know what you’re saying
I’m saying what you’re saying

Said we’d be better than them but we’re the same
I’m taking your hand and now we’re taking the blame
I think I could love you
I wanna be good, babe, I wanna be free
I see it in you, I know you see it in me
I think I could love you

I’m telling them all of these lies for you, baby
You’re drowning out all of the noise for my sanity
And we’re so deep down our shit to be flawless
I can’t even think about how we used to be before this, I love you

I think I could love you
