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
