[Verse 1]
The ice on my tongue did melt away
Slipped underneath all my restraints
To the tune of white Russians and city bar canapés
I told you you weren't as nice as they say
Now we both got those
Hand me down
Scars around
Sensitive family pain
Parents' fault
Fuck the blame
Like the ice cream on a yellow tooth
Whenever the cone breaks loose
We feel the freeze before we finally get the taste
My bad
[Chorus]
Eyes wide open, I guess we caught the truth in
Killing this Mr. Nice Guy ruse
And I know the world sees real and calls it trippin'
But maybe you're only you when you're slippin'
Maybe, maybe
[Verse 2]
We wait half an hour for Coke and a coffee
Opaque as you stretch thin under words that
Rupture the gates and burst technicolour
Do waiters still spit in drinks?
You went in heavy handed, heavy handed
But I swear I never seen your face so plush and pink
Now we both got those
Hand me down
Putrid gowns
Tracing our skin with stains
Why try to hide 'em?
Fuck the shame
What's the point of being good
When life's electric under shoulds
But we only ever get the zing through mirrors' flame?
My bad, yep
[Chorus]
Eyes wide open, I guess we caught the truth in
Killing this Mr. Nice Guy ruse
And I know the world sees real and calls it trippin'
But maybe you're only you when you're slippin'
Maybe, maybe
Eyes wide open, I guess we caught the truth in
Killing this Mr. Nice Guy ruse
And I know the world sees real and calls it trippin'
But maybe you're only you when you're slippin'
Maybe, maybe
[Bridge]
Excuse me and my feelings, I can't help them anymore
Then you can control if it pours (If it pours)
I know it's super uncomfortable
Is that such a bad thing?
[Chorus]
Eyes wide open, I guess we caught the truth in
Killing this Mr. Nice Guy ruse
And I know the world sees real and calls it trippin'
But maybe you're only you when you're slippin'
Maybe, maybe
Eyes wide open, I guess we caught the truth in
Killing this Mr. Nice Guy ruse
And I know the world sees real and calls it trippin'
But maybe you're only you when you're slippin'
Maybe, maybe
The ice on my tongue did melt away
Slipped underneath all my restraints
To the tune of white Russians and city bar canapés
I told you you weren't as nice as they say
