[Verse 1]
I can never be like you, I don't ever talk like that
You smile with a sparkler drink and stumble in your lipstick mess
Well, Hollywood philosophies, yeah, it's a tragedy

Just waiting around for someone to take you home
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you know I'm not the one
I'm sorry I was late, I didn't wanna come
[Chorus]
(Ah)
Oh no, man, it's just not that much fun
(Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Well, my eyes are wandering, can we just eat the news?
And dance around the room in our scattered point of views
Take my hand and breathe, yeah, just count to three
I wish that I could blink and turn all your words
Into ice cubes so I could fill my drink
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know you know I'm not the one
I'm sorry I was late, next time I just won't come
[Chorus]

Oh man, well, I think I gotta run
(Ooh)
[Bridge]

And having fun just being by yourself?
Wondering why we can't commit to love
The things that we got we always want more of
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you'd rather have me fake it, but I'm not gonna make it
[Chorus]
Woo (Ah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, now I gotta run
(Ooh) Woo
