lyrics

The sun’s going down for the night but I still see your game from right here
You wanna pass the time and you need a new volunteer
No sudden movements, your disposition is blurry at best
You wanna try me out, you’re looking to put me to the test

One thing with seeing straight is the blast that comes at you sideways
You weren’t unexpected then, but now my head’s caught up in a haze
Come up for air a sec, I know it makes you so high
But you need to know when I’m sober I’m really not that kind of guy

Take one step back
Let it catch up to you
I think you thought
That you already knew
But what could be wrong
No one to answer to
Just make up your mind, now’s the time cause you
You cannot redo

Now you’ve got everything you ever needed to be set free
What you don’t know is that you’ll never be called good company
Spend too much time in the dark and your eyes will adjust to the gray
You know that it’s not too late, you could still get up and walk away

Yeah I been here, I been here before
I been knocking down your kitchen door
Waiting for you to take me seriously
You been taking your time I know
But it don’t matter now cuz
It’s all a game

Baby I want you far from me but
Don’t think I’ll go quietly, cuz
I’m not the same
I strum every single chord
And it’s all sounding old, cuz (like it's the last I'll play)
I know the game.
