Caught me off guard
Like that even matters
I'm an open nerve you love to poke again and again
A permanent vacation spot
My accent becomes a parlor trick for the bored and the lonely

They ignore what they don't wanna hear
Comes with the territory
You're too sweet my dear, maybe I'm too mean
Stick it out as long you can
Turn that acquaintance into a friend
Mull it over while you're still young

Slow down right here
Where you said it happened
Did he leave a trace? A letter to a friend. Maybe something?
A certain lie... and with confidence
We resume your scheduled programming

They ignore what they don't wanna hear
Comes with the territory
You're too sweet my dear, maybe I'm too mean
Stick it out as long you can
Turn that acquaintance into a friend
Mull it over while you're still young
They ignore what they don't wanna hear
Comes with the territory
You're too sweet my dear, maybe I'm too mean
Stick it out as long you can
Turn that acquaintance into a friend
Mull it over while you're still young

They ignore what they don't wanna hear
Maybe we should join them
“Can’t you see my dear, maybe we’re insane”
Gut it out as long we can
Twisting and turning into a plan
Create love now while we’re still young
