The Knife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How bout now?
How bout never?
Maybe you could be a star
Maybe I couldn't do better
Maybe we, we took it too far
I'm not saying no one's happy
But I'm not gonna lie
The way you smile when everyone's laughing gets me every time
Between your lips and fading lights
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
And I love the way you twist the knife
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
Have a look
Why'd you go sideways?
Where did you, you learn those words?
Maybe I set it on fire
Maybe we wanna watch it burn
Between your lips and fading lights
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
And I love the way you twist the knife
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
Let it go in slow motion
Let it go in slow motion
I don't wanna say goodnight
I don't wanna say goodbye
I'm not saying no one's happy
But I'm not gonna lie
The way you smile when everyone's laughing gets me every time
Between your lips and fading lights
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
And I love the way you twist the knife
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
And I love the way you twist the knife, yeah
We're gonna get no sleep tonight, no
And I love the way you twist the knife, yeah
We're gonna get no sleep tonight
