lyrics

Okay let's review the plan
I'll get very small
You wait outside on the ledge
When the alarm goes off we're on

You should grab what feels right to you
Because we've only got a little time
It's lights out for this masquerade
And with the curtain coming down
You didn't want to leave the stage

And all those lies you told me
I'm still trying to figure them out
Were you really trying to make things better
Or were you just having fun shaking this can up

Let's not go down that street a second time
See all those things again that we saw the first time
We can walk right past the flashing lights
And the giant inflatable man waving wildly around

And all those lies you told me
I'm still trying to figure them out
Were you really trying to make things better
Or were you just having fun
All those lies you told me
I'm still trying to figure them out
Were you really trying to make things better
Or were you just having fun shaking this can up
