Welcome Distraction
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.
I got a little thing I call self control
'Cause I get a little crazy when I let too much go
Love's a little messy and you are too
Right now I'm scared of both of you
I laugh and I play and I wasn't gonna stray
Swore I'd never let a man in my way
You're the last thing I needed today
And I don't know where I lost control
And couldn't take it any longer
Must have been somewhere between your smile
And the way you say my name
I can't win so I give in
The more I fight, it just gets stronger
You're an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction
Welcome distraction
Gone and spilled my coffee tryna get to the phone
'Cause it might be you, you just never know
Can't talk to my friends without you coming up
It's even kind of cute the way you cuss
I wrote your name down a hundred thousand times
'Cause it looks so good right next to mine
You're the last thing I needed tonight
And I don't know where I lost control
And couldn't take it any longer
Must have been somewhere between your smile
And the way you say my name
I can't win so I give in
The more I fight, it just gets stronger
You're an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction
Welcome distraction
I'm acting like a girl
With nothing to lose
When did I stop caring about
Anything but you
And I don't know where I lost control
And couldn't take it any longer
Must have been somewhere between your smile
And the way you say my name
I can't win so I give in
The more I fight, it just gets stronger
You're an inconvenient kind of satisfaction
Welcome distraction
