lyrics

Clouds and city buses roll in at the same tempo
And the words coming off my tongue
Aren’t tasting very gentle
But you want to do this anyway
It started as a sunny day
Now it’s gloomy

But I’ll be right there with you
If you wanna get the truth out
Cause I know there’s no excuses
Once you pull the proof out
Now you’re playing my game
You gotta call me by a different name
How about maverick?

This time I swear
I promise to be serious
‘Cause I can tell
That you’re in need of a decent friend
No more wasted hours
On a false pretense
Can we both agree?

I’ll be going all night
Don’t have time to get my rest in
Cause I’m working for the day
When I will finally be the best in town
Maybe then you’ll wanna come around
But I don’t think so

This time I swear
I promise to be serious
‘Cause I can tell
That you’re in need of a decent friend
No more wasted hours
On a false pretense
Can we both agree?

But I’m not gonna get my hopes up
Just so you can let me down
I said I’m not gonna get my hopes up
Just so you can let me drown

This time I swear
I promise to be serious
‘Cause I can tell
That you’re in need of a decent friend
No more wasted hours
On a false pretense
Can we both agree?
