Crossing The Tan Line

from I Started With The Best Intentions by Goodbye Fairground

lyrics

In sneakers and suits
in tight jeans and make up
it’s golden, it’s great and
we’re all overdressed
tell me you’re bored
but you have to admit
you’ve never seen anything as pretty as this
there are rules that we follow
there are facts that we know
we dance like we’re dancers
with gently closed eyes
it’s time for drinks here
those two are on me
cheers to another night without sleep

you want me to smile while I lie to your face
yes, I’m feeling right at home in this place
and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else
at least not tonight

I never thought I could ever spend
so many thoughts on something
that is meant to mean nothing
going to sleep in someone else’s bed is not the problem
the problem is waking up there the next morning

maybe this is over but we’ll get over it.
