Bedside Biography Lyrics

Wake up with someone you don't know

Anything about

You try to make sense of what you've done

Without thinking aloud

Without making a sound

Too late, her eyes begin to flutter

She starts to wake, quick

Have a story, don't trip, don't stutter

Don't mind the mess you made

"It ain't my fault it's all 50/50 in this life"

And it's not a full night without a compromise

Another drink and you're not fit to drive and by

The way you're screaming behind your eyes

I'll be your one good lie

But your excuse for the night

That's where you'd say

That's where you'd say

Hours pass

She hasn't even tried to leave your side

You've got her life story and you're keeping stride

You're singing a song and she sighs

"Keep going" while she starts to breathe softer

Move to the room

Now's not the time to think, don't blink

Don't say a word

Just give her what she's asking for

So you look up from the part in her hair

To where it falls and it leaves her shoulders bare

Your touch and your fake embrace

Hides the worried look on your face

A cigarette and a hint of a smile

Your hands travel down to her waist

You're trying not to move too fast

To get it just right

To be her one good lie and her excuse for the night

That's where you'll say

That's where you'd say

(So you made your way)

Inside out

I'm shot down

(I made my mistakes)

Though I swore that I would rise above

I kept on looking down

(Can we try again?)

I'm coming clean

I'm all the fuss

(Can we start over?)

And all the things that I've just seen

Don't compare to what I leave behind

(I'd do anything)

And in a photograph I'll meet you

You'll take a shot to see through me

And even if it's poetry

It's just words and rhyme

And I can't see the sun

There's no one left to blame

Though everything has changed

I found myself, over and over

Lying to me again

That's where I'll say

I'll be okay
