𝄞 Crab's lair ꩜

When I was younger, I saw My daddy cry and curse at the wind He broke his own heart and I watched As he tried to reassemble it And my mama swore that she would Never let herself forget And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love if it does not exist But, darling, you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception Well, maybe I know somewhere Deep in my soul that love never lasts And we've got to find other ways To make it alone or keep a straight face And I've always lived like this Keeping a comfortable distance And up until now, I had sworn To myself that I'm content with loneliness Because none of it was ever worth the risk Well, you are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception You are the only exception I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't Let go of what's in front of me here I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream, oh

I'm coming out of my cage, and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke, and she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed, and my stomach is sick And it's all in my head, but she's touching his Chest now, he takes off her dress now Let me go I just can't look, it's killing me And taking control Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside I'm coming out of my cage, and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke, and she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed

I guess I should stop looking out for you, like I always do When will you start looking out for me, too Instead of leaving me staring at my shoes? It's just the way you're glancing at me Something about you just makes me feel guilty for liking you When you're with him, when you're with him This is a love song for a girl who will never know it's about her I know it's pretty stupid, but I'm much too shy to tell her She's beaming that smile, all the while I'm all choked up on my own throat, I guess there is no hope And we're walking out in the snow I say, "I guess I should go" And we're talking 'bout someone else When we should be talking about ourselves It's the same old situation, you've always got me waiting Come on, dear, I think time's a-wastin' Before we have to go back inside And return to our normal lives This is a love song for a girl who will never know it's about her I know it's pretty stupid, but I'm much too shy to tell her She's beaming that smile, all the while

Let's say sunshine for everyone But as far as I can remember We've been migratory animals Living under changing weather Someday we will foresee obstacles Through the blizzard, through the blizzard Today we will sell our uniform Live together Live together We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger We played hide and seek in waterfalls We were younger We were younger Someday we will foresee obstacles Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
