Keeping You Around

Keeping You Around Song Text

[Intro]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in

[Verse 1]
Slow down, show me
Tell me how a modern human should be
It's so easy
You're so pretty when you lie to me
But how much blame can we take, babe? Oh-oh
When all our friends are so shady

[Chorus]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killin' war
Or seein' sound, ah-ah
Than I've got of keepin' you around
Of keepin' you around, of keepin' you around

[Verse 2]
Dead club, so low
So good, I'm pretendin' it's fun though
Headf**k won't go
So tired of bein' tired, you know
I wish I could make it easy, oh-oh-oh
I'm still a broken machine, babe

[Chorus]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killin' war
Or seein' sound, ah-ah
Than I've got of keepin' you around
Of keepin' you around, of keepin' you around

[Bridge]
Build somethin' up just to knock it down
Live a quiet life in a quiet town
Maybe everyone will forget me now
Could we just start over?
Build somethin' up just to knock it down
Live a quiet life in a quiet town
Maybe everyone will forget me now
Could we just start over?
[Chorus]
Your lips want anyone else
Mine taste like everyone else
Oh, that's a tragedy
Try not to pity myself
You fall back into yourself
Oh, what a mess we're in
I've got more hope of killin' war
Or seein' sound, ah-ah
Than I've got of keepin' you around
Of keepin' you around, of keepin' you around
