I keep searching for a smile that surprises me in a bar
A drag of something that can make my head go far
A movie that could make me cry, aha
To change a “I don’t believe in anything” to “I love you, man”
Any excuse, some silly reason, is good to raise a glass
To let out a burst of laughter, then breathe in deep and relax
To feel like a cigarette butt between lips as they smoke
Hanging on to anyone who likes to stay up until it’s broke
How poorly timed it was to tell you, “I really gotta go”
But how good I am now, I don’t want to speak anymore
Of princesses who are looking
For guys to collect and store
At the foot of their beds
You’re something I’ve forgotten before
I go around whistling, I stop to chat with people along the way
I drink something, I smile, then take another to start my day
I listen to music, and start to dance, why not play
I’m still shocked when I see my face on the cover of As
Lately, things keep changing faster than I can grasp
Sometimes I think something bad is coming, a dark overcast
I feel like a cigarette butt between lips as they smoke
I hang on to anyone who likes to stay up until it’s broke
How poorly timed it was to tell you, “I really gotta go”
But how good I am now, I don’t want to speak anymore
Of princesses who are looking
For guys to collect and store
At the foot of their beds
You’re something I don’t want to speak of anymore
Of princesses who are looking
For guys to collect and store
At the foot of their beds
You’re something I’ve forgotten before
I keep searching for a smile that surprises me in a bar
A drag of something that can make my head go far
A movie that could make me cry
Of princesses who are looking
For guys to collect and store
At the foot of their beds
You’re something I don’t want to speak of anymore
Of princesses who are looking
For guys to collect and store
At the foot of their beds
You’re something I’ve forgotten before
