  • I never was a fan of the internet
    She never felt that safe in her own head
    We both hate the news
    There for the grace of God goes you
    Smiling when I ask if she's bored yet
    We wonder if we took it too far
    Both taste confused
    Darling, what am I to do?

    I like to think that I'm
    The only guy she'll see tonight
    You can call me what you like
    As long as you call me

    And you can kiss the skin
    From my lips if it makes you feel good
    I'm not sure if you want it
    I'm not sure if you need me, too
    And you can taste the beer
    On every guy that talks to you
    But you can't stay awake forever
    No, you can't stay awake forever

    And so I find myself in your mum's bedroom
    Fighting with the pink roller blinds
    It's on pay-per-view
    Just place your bets on whose lost their minds
    You take a pirouette under duvet set
    You sigh with perfect pitch on the time
    I'm not made for you
    But what else is new?
    Oh, Lord she tells me that it's nothing
    I really hope it's nothing

    You can kiss the skin
    From my lips if it makes you feel good
    I'm not sure if you want it
    I'm not sure if you need me, too
    And you can taste the beer
    On every guy that talks to you
    But you can't stay awake forever
    No, you can't stay awake forever

    This just in, I am a total fucking dumbass
    And I've come to the uncomfortable conclusion
    I'm gonna be spending the rest of my life in a state
    Of constant paranoia
    Just let me follow you
    And I'll proceed to bang my head on every doorway
    And doorframe you see suitable for us to go through
    And I've found that the road to happiness
    Is paved with rows and rows of very tempting parking spaces
    I'm not paranoid, I'm a realist
    I know you're gonna kill me

    You can kiss the skin
    From my lips if it makes you feel good
    I'm not sure if you want it
    I'm not sure if you need me, too
    And you can taste the beer
    On every guy that talks to you
    But you can't stay awake forever
    But you can't stay awake forever

    And you can kiss the skin
    From my lips if it makes you feel good
    I'm not sure if you want it
    I'm not sure if you need me, too
    And you can taste the beer
    On every guy that talks to you
    But you can't stay awake forever (you can't stay awake)
    You can't stay awake forever (you can't stay awake forever) Writer/s: Ashley Stevens, Joseph Goldsmith, Mark Boardman, William Gold
