Pale Beneath The Tan (Squeeze)

Squeeze my arms a little tighter

Let me know I'm still alive

'Cause you're the only one here keeping

Both my eyes open tonight

And I know that we got problems

Who are they to criticize?

If I tell you all my secrets

Would you tell me all your lies?

And when I stop writing her letters

I want her to know that it's because

I have someone that makes me feel

The same exact way that she does

And I will not deny the privilege

To someone else who wants my love

I have stitched a mask of confidence

And I wear it like a glove

And a man who knows what he's talking

Spoke to me today

He said that no ones going to listen

Until you mean every word you say

So if you can't find the feeling

You better learn to lie

And if you know we're gonna fail

Then there's no point to even try

No point to try

I don't get it, for real

This is blowing my mind

We keep saying we're unhappy

And they keep saying that we're fine

I guess pain

Will be the only thing I ever get to bring

But I will send it through the air

Like a loosely gripped baseball bat swing

All I ever wanted was something different

Maybe by another name

We could set ourselves on fire

There is cleansing in the flame

So keep clapping and dancing

Let them know you're still alive

And if you're tired of giving up

At least make them think that you survived

So keep laughing, it's not funny

But at least you don't have to cry

When you wake up in the morning

And you know you're still alive

You're still alive, you know you're still alive

You're still alive, you know you're still alive

Until we break down, until we shut down

Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

Until we break down, until we shut down

Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

Until we break down, until we shut down

Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground

And a man who knows what he's talking

Spoke to me today

He said that no ones going to listen

Until you mean every word you say

So if you can't find the feeling

You better learn to lie

And if you know we're gonna fail

Then there's little point to even try

Little point to try
