lyrics

You are the bitter taste of failure
And the little bit of laughter on my lips
You gave the best ever given
And I said, “Baby, I’ll take what I can get.”
‘Cuz there’s so much more to life
Than going out and getting drunk on a Tuesday night
But when I’m dancing next to you, looking like a fool
I’m not so concerned with what’s right

Oh, baby
Oh, we are both so god damn lonely
Oh, let’s see what we can do with our bodies
Oh, we are both so god damn lonely
Oh, but there’s a ghost in your eyes
And it won’t let you see

When we leave it up to fate
We ask, “Can we create our dreams in time?”
I don’t care if it’s fake
Our bodies seem to make dreams flow like wine
‘Cuz there is so much more to life
Than going out and getting drunk again on a Wednesday night
But when I’m lying next to you, looking like a fool
I’m not so concerned with what’s right

Oh, baby
Oh, we are both so god damn lonely
Oh, let’s see what we can do with our bodies
Oh, we are both so god damn lonely
Oh, but there’s a ghost in your eyes
And it won’t let you see

And there’s something about your eyes
I feel love burning through them
And there’s something about your smiles
I feel love burning through them
And there’s something about your eyes
I feel love burning through them
And there’s something about your smiles
I feel love burning through them

Oh, we are both so god damn lonely
Oh, let’s see what we can do with our bodies
Oh, we are both so god damn lonely
Oh, but there’s a ghost in your eyes
And it won’t let you see
