Emoticons
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.
It's tough to stay objective baby
With your tongue abseiling down my neck
It's a bulletproof offer that I can't accept
It's tough to maintain focus baby
Now all my elephants are in the room
We crave for fiction when we need the truth
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
And all these emoticons and words
Try to make it better
But they only make it worse
It's tough to feign indifference baby
Now I'm spending all the money I have
Trying to impress you is kinda driving me mad
And I don't blame the pressure or the vultures in the sky
I blame what happens everytime we're under neon lights
We crave for attention in a room with a view
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
And all these emoticons and words
Try to make it better
But they only make it worse
And all these emoticons and words
Fail to make it better, their attempts just make it worse
It's everything I want, and nothing I can keep
And behind these metaphors, I want you literally
We crave for fiction when we need the truth
You need to find a different boy's heart to chew
And all these emoticons and words
Try to make it better
But they only make it worse
But I like it here so much I might stay,
The edge of nowhere's such a beautiful place
The edge of nowhere's such a beautiful place
