you heard about their wandering eyes
and all the clothes they shared and hide
with all the pain you hope never gets outgrown
'cause you want me to sleep by your side
to keep her from running your life, uh huh
and i believed in yesterday
when all the words were simply phrased
and they still know i'm only as far as the telephone
if they want me to sleep by their side
to keep them from ruining their life
their life
Chorus
so baby tell me all your secrets and your lies
i'll tell you mine
'cause lately i've been thinking we ain't got the time
playing nice
cause it's a long long long way down
ain't it
and all along we used to chase
dreams of dragons far away
now all the flocks have flown
and i'm too scared to be outgrown
and you want me to sleep by your side
to keep you from ruining that night
goodbye
Chorus 2
so baby tell me all your secrets and your lies
i'll tell you mine
'cause lately i've been thinking we ain't got the time
playing nice
cause it's a long long long way down
and it's a god god god damn shame
we can't stick around
bridge
and i believed in all those words about the west
and is it hard to think that i deserve the best
but you got loaded and went off and lost your head
and now i'm lying here tucked back in my bed
where you want me to sleep on your lies
to keep me from living my life
my life
Chorus 3 x 2
so baby tell me all your secrets and your lies
i'll tell you mine
'cause lately i've been thinking we ain't got the time
playing nice
outro
'cause it's a long long long way down
when it's a god god god damn shame
yeah it's a god god god damn shame
you couldn't stick around
