Lyrics

Time flies backwards when you look away
Lashes long like the milkyway
All the stars seem to shine for you
Might as well do what you always do

You’re a sucker for the sugar rush
Salty flavor with a hint of lush
Don’t believe everything you see
Life’s as fake as your freckles, and it’s not for free

You say that you’ll never quit
You say that you’re feeling it
And when you’re running low you’re just running high
You say you don’t care, but you know you lie

And what’s your big idea? You have none
And still you cannot see what’s wrong
You scratch your sorry head, say you’re fine
How long before they know you’re lying?
Honey, you’re not the same
All the flavors mix in your brain
Keep nodding to the sound of your song
How long before they know
You’re gone

Take a picture, they will love you more
And the world is just another open door
Starring into eyes that don’t look back
You will gain what the others lack

Quit your job travel anywhere
Sink or swim, don’t come up for air
If you lose it is not your fault
Eat your cake with a pinch of salt

You say that you’ll never quit
You say that you’re feeling it
And when you’re running low you’re just running high
You say you don’t care, but you know you lie

And what’s your big idea?You have none
And still you cannot see what’s wrong
You scratch your sorry head, say you’re fine
How long before they know you’re lying?
Honey, you’re not the same
All the flavors mix in your brain
Keep nodding to the sound of your song
How long before you know
You’re gone
You’re gone
