Shakedown

zero points for writing clever lines

about your styles and/or grace

when your home-truths hit the headlines

and left this whole town in your wake

shakedown

too much way too soon

you make out

in over-crowded rooms

and we know

everything about you

and I'd love to mention bridges burned

and rooftops where we sat

but we're already steeped in cliché

and my turn of phrase is back

i'm not sorry i'm just bored and sick

of the drama that comes with

doing all of this so well

so listen under covers like you're gonna get caught

and you can read these lines by hallway lights

from under the door

and we know

yeah we know
