lyrics

Burning through the last of my jokes just to see you laugh
And roll your eyes the way that you do and tell me how I almost fooled you
Waiting for a breath in between to see if you’ve done the math
And realize my soul’s awakened, even if your heart is taken

Counting every one of your smiles with your eyes to the ground
That I feel so lucky sharing in the mask you’ve got me wearing
I’m buying any clock that I see just to run it down
And find out that you want to shout it, but have to do a dance around it

‘Cause everything that comes out of me is from thinking of the day
When you say you’ve thought about me, even if you can’t around me
And everything that comes out of you sounds like a cabaret
I want to stay and watch your number, but I don’t want to blow my cover

I’m selling everything that I own just to recreate the glance
That you gave me out of kindness but accidentally cured my blindness
You saw me all alone in the dark and said “may I have this dance?”
I went home with a stupid smile on and went to bed with all the lights on

Tell me that I’m out of my mind but that I’ve been on yours
Even for a fleeting moment, even when you didn’t know it
Raise a little bit of your flag before I’m blown off course
And I will sail into the sunset, thinking ‘bout what it could have meant

Just tell me that you would, and then what’s for my own good

‘Cause everything that comes out of me is from thinking of the day
When you say you’ve thought about me, even if you can’t around me
And everything that comes out of you sounds like a cabaret
I want to stay and watch your number, but I don’t want to blow my cover

But everything that comes out of me is what will give me away
Don’t want to change your destination, but could you kill the speculation
‘Cause everything that comes out of you, it sounds like a cabaret
But I don’t want to crush what lifts me by saying “I love you, forgive me”
