Nothing But Thieves - Keeping You Around

Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in

Slow down, show me
Tell me how a modern human should be
It's so easy
You're so pretty when you lie to me
But how much blame can we take, babe? Oh
When all our friends are so shady

Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killing war
Or seeing sound, ah
Than I've got of keeping you around
Of keeping you around, of keeping you around

Dead club, so low
So good at pretending it's fun though
Head fuck, won't go
So tired of being tired, you know
I wish I could make it easy, oh
I'm still a broken machine, babe

Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killing war
Or seeing sound, ah
Than I've got of keeping you around
Of keeping you around, of keeping you around

Build something up just to knock it down
Live a quiet life in a quiet town
Maybe everyone will forget me now
Could we just start over?
Build something up just to knock it down
Live a quiet life in a quiet town
Maybe everyone will forget me now
Could we just start over?

Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killing war
Or seeing sound, ah
Than I've got of keeping you around
Of keeping you around, of keeping you around
