Hold your eyes above all your traces
Since it’s the things I know that you want to see
And I don’t mind but I’ll easily find
All the reckless things you’re doing to me
Chorus:
But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show
The things that make you come back to me
And if you make your same mistakes I wont care
Because it’s the things you wished that you’d never blend
All the while you’re mixing my confessions
And they’re slowly getting lose in your head
Chorus:
But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show
The things that make you come back to me
All the wasted and waking moments
I’ll forget the breaks that you’ve issued me
For miles and miles I’m forgiving your style
From the happenings of our dead routine
Chorus:
But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show
The things that make you come back to me
And I’ll ask to hold me down if I’m not keeping secrets
Of all the things I think I want to pursue
I don’t mean to be rude, but if it’s true
All the things people are saying of you
Chorus:
But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show
The things that make you come back to me
I don’t see the attention in the things
That I left behind just to get through to you
And if I’m wrong I’m sure I’ll get along
And complicate the next occasion that comes through
Chorus:
But it’s just life as you know and you’ve got to show
The things that make you come back to me
