Song Lyrics

I swear that you can see with your eyes shut
Head down, small town, do you sleep at all?
Waiting for the feeling to fade, is it really that strange?
Is it really that strange at all?
Talk about the summer, but we're ice cold
Say we're getting better, we just drink more
I swear that you can see with your eyes shut
You know I'm going to lose with my chin up

And that's the funny thing, breaking ties
Fragile nights
All in spite
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)
And bloodshot eyes
Shaky nights
Come untied
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)

I swear that you can dance while you stand still
Cold hands, fake laughs as we're waking up
Look at how everything's changed, is it really that strange?
Is it really that strange at all?
Talk about your brother, he's in jail now
Talk about your mother who just walked out
Watch your city turning into a landfill
I swear that you can dance while you stand still

And that's the funny thing, breaking ties
Fragile nights
All in spit
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)
And bloodshot eyes
Shaky nights
Come untied
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)

You cry, you laugh, I can't relax
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)
I shout, I shake and you say
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)

You cry, you laugh, I can't relax
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)
I shout, I shake and you say
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)
And bloodshot eyes
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)
Shaky nights
Come untied
(It's a joke, it's a joke, but I don't break a smile)
