lyrics

He asked if I could take you home
I thought I had more self-control
Tom Waits on my car stereo
I dropped you off but you didn’t go

You said that I could come inside
I should’ve declined but I said “alright”
Showed me all the music that you liked
And now your hand’s creeping up my thigh

This isn’t who I really am
Some urge is coming from within
You pull me close enough to damn
What kind of mess have I stepped in?

I’ve played it backwards through my mind
Slow motion thoughts but in real time
I wish I could leave it all behind
But when it comes to desperate, I’m the paradigm

Told you it had been a long time since
Someone thought me worthy to lock lips
I was gonna’ leave with just “goodbye”
Why did I turn around, why did I catch your eye?

This isn’t who I really am
Turn off the lights, shall we begin?
Moments of weakness let you in
And now you’re etched beneath my skin
We fuck around with all our friends
Now I can’t seem to make amends
This vicious cycle knows no end
But I’d probably do it all again

I’m better in the dark
