[Verse 1 - Mark Hoppus]
I live on the dark side, so pull the shades tight
Don't shine that light in my eyes
I’m so jealous and inspired
It's like I'm always wired to a time bomb
[Pre-Chorus 1 - Mark Hoppus]
I lost my faith in drinking
I lost my voice again
Living on a shark’s teeth with you beside me
Waiting for the water to bleed
[Chorus - Alex Gaskarth]
If I tell myself one little lie
Then I think that I'll be alright
I tell myself one little lie
My head gets heavy every day
Like it's filled with rocks and memories
I tell myself one little lie and the pain don't phase me
[Verse 2 - Mark Hoppus]
Falling off the earth's face
Watching your eyes glaze
I taste the salt on your skin
Fighting in a foreign city
Tonight will only lead me to a time bomb
[Pre-Chorus 2 - Mark Hoppus]
You lost yourself in whiskey
You lost your keys again
Living in a shark's teeth with you beside me
Waiting for the water to bleed
[Chorus - Alex Gaskarth]
If I tell myself one little lie
Then I think that I'll be alright
I tell myself one little lie
My head gets heavy every day
Like it's filled with rocks and memories
I tell myself one little lie and the pain don’t phase me
[Bridge - Alex Gaskarth & Mark Hoppus]
Everything (everything), opposite (opposite)
Back and forth (back and forth), born to quit (born to quit)
Everything (everything), opposite (opposite)
Back and forth (back and forth), born to quit (born to quit)
Everything (everything), opposite (opposite)
Back and forth (back and forth), born to quit (born to quit)
Everything (everything), opposite (opposite)
Everything (everything), opposite (opposite)
[Chorus - Alex Gaskarth]
If I tell myself one little lie
Then I think that I’ll be alright
I tell myself one little lie
[Outro - Alex Gaskarth]
I trip and stumble some of the time
But I know that I'll be alright
I tell myself one little lie and the pain don’t phase me
