Well, I could never be like you
00:05
I don't ever talk like that
00:08
Smiling with a sparkling drink
00:11
And stumbling in your lipstick mess
00:13
Molly was the loss of me
00:16
Yeah, it was a tragedy
00:19
But you keep hanging on
00:22
Would've make it look
00:24
Just waiting around
00:25
For someone to take you home
00:27
And I know you know I'm not the one
00:30
I'm sorry I was late, I didn't wanna come
00:36
Ah...
00:39
Oh no, man, it's just that that looks fun
00:47
Ooh...
00:50
00:58
Well my eyes are wandering
01:04
Can we just eat the news?
01:07
And dance around the room
01:09
In a scattered point of views
01:12
Well take my hand and breathe
01:15
Babe, just count to three
01:19
I wish that I could blink
01:21
And turn all your words into ice cubes
01:23
So I could fill my drink
01:26
And I know you know I'm not the one
01:30
I'm sorry I was late
01:35
Next time, I just won't come
01:37
Ah...
01:42
Oh no, man, I think I gotta run!
01:46
01:51
Ooh...
01:53
01:56
Well, hey, what's that called?
02:04
When you're sitting on your couch
02:08
And having fun, just being by yourself
02:12
Wondering why
02:17
We can't commit to love
02:19
The things that we got
02:24
We always want more of
02:25
02:28
But I know you'd rather have me fake it
02:35
But I'm not gonna make it
02:37
Ah...
02:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah, man, I gotta run!
02:45
02:49
Ooh...
02:51
02:52
Lyrics & Translation

Well, I could never be like youI don't ever talk like that
