  • Maybe I don't act the way I used to
    'Cause I don't feel the same about you
    In fact, that's a lie, I want you

    And I raced through soundcheck
    Just to meet you on your fag break
    And you convinced me
    To put life aside and want you

    And if only for the sake of it I could chill you out
    And drive us through the night to your sister's
    And you can fall asleep with my jacket as a cover
    And wake up just to join me to smoke

    I wanted everything at once
    Until you blew me out my mind
    Now I don't need nothing

    Maybe I don't act the way I used to
    'Cause I don't feel the same that I did
    The fact that I lie because I want you

    And if only for the sake of it I could chill you out
    And drive us through the night to your sister's
    And you can fall asleep with my jacket as a cover
    And wake up just to join me to smoke

    I wanted everything at once
    Until you blew me out my mind
    And now I don't need nothing

    I wanted everything at once
    Until you blew me out my mind
    And now I don't need nothing

    We'll be talking 'bout your background
    And how it never left you much
    Because you grew up in a small town
    You'll appreciate it more
    When you're done figuring your life out
    And everything's fine

    We'll be talking 'bout your background
    And how it never left you much
    Because you grew up in a small town
    You'll appreciate it more
    When you're done figuring your life out
    And everything's fine

    I raced through soundcheck
    Just to meet you on your fag break
    And you convinced me
    To put life aside and want you

    I wanted everything at once
    Until you blew me out my mind
    And now I don't need nothing

    I wanted everything at once
    Until you blew me out my mind
    And now I don't need nothing Writer/s: Ryan McCann
