lyrics

If I knew you were coming
I’d have baked a cake
If I knew we were rolling
I’d have faked a take

The truth ain’t forthcoming
We lie for goodness’ sake

If I knew you were showing
I’d have never flaked
If I knew you were going
I’d have made you stay

The truth is in knowing
We lie for goodness’ sake

Wasn’t I laughing so hard I cried?
Last time I saw you
Dazed by the punchline
Hot-wired cars, how’d you get that scar?

If I knew you were ailing
How bad you ached
If I knew you were bailing
I’d have slammed the brakes

The truth is unveiling
We lie for goodness’ sake

If I knew you were leaving
I’d have blocked your way
I’ve got to keep believing
In the love we make

The truth is deceiving
We lie for goodness’ sake

Wasn’t I laughing so hard I cried
Last time I saw you
Stunned by the punchline
Hot-wired cars, how’d you get that scar?

Make mistakes
Break the law with me
Don’t wake the neighbors
Take a ride with me

Stay awake
Stay awake with me
Stay awake
Stay awake with me
