Distraction

[Verse 1]
Dark alleyways, live hand grenades
With pins between our teeth, we laugh
All signs are go, butterflies be damned
And legs so long that we disappear
My gaze is fixed up on the sun
Can't look away, is this the price of fun?
The pavement blazes, visible waves
It's hard to see you walking by
Time slips away but is way too fast
With no excuse and all surprise
An exit plan with hazel eyes
I pump the brakes, you hit the gas

[Pre-Chorus]
It's such a beautiful game
That we can get high on
But it's a little too late
It's just another lifestyle you can't try on

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Could it be? you're a distraction
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la
Could it be? you're a distraction

[Verse 2]
Those were the days, or so they say
Or maybe they're just old and bored
Consumed by guilt, we'll just ignore
(Ignore-Ignore-Ignore)
The voices grow, the ones you know
And some new, bigger, fast and strong
My days are slow, their nights are long
(They're long-They're long-They're long)
Back story built from just a glance
Every detail, nothing left to chance
I suffer from an active imagination
(Nation-Nation-Nation)
And before it starts I see the out
Attractions crash, collide with doubt
I close my eyes, the ghost is gone

[Pre-Chorus]
It's such a beautiful game
That we can get high on
But it's a little too late
It's just another lifestyle you can't try on

[Chorus]
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Could it be? you're a distraction
