Lyrics

I feel that sultry high
pulling me your way
maybe it's the bottle talking
but it's helping me ignore the signs
you're a bad idea
and I'm the worst you'll find
hate me in the morning
but stay with me tonight

say the word and I'll be gone before the morning comes to rouse your weary eyes
say the word and I'll be gone before the whole disguise reveals who we are
boys like me
girls like you

I just pretend you like it
this imagined school boy charm
surreptitious style, there's not much here to love
self indulgent feelings
choke on the words I write
as though I've been entitled
to feeling this contrived

say the word and I'll be gone before the morning comes to rouse your weary eyes
say the word and I'll be gone before the whole disguise reveals who we are
boys like me
girls like you
