Lyrics Keeping You Around - Nothing But Thieves

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

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
When all our friends are so shady?

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 killing war
Or seeing sound, oh
Than I've got of keeping you around
Of keeping you around
Of keeping you around

Dead Club, so low
So good at pretending it's fun though
Head fuck won't go
So tired of being tired, you know

I wish I could make it easy, oh
I'm still a broken machine, babe

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 killing war
Or seeing sound, oh
Than I've got of keeping you around
Of keeping you around
Of keeping you around

Build something 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 something 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?

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 killing war
Or seeing sound, oh
Than I've got of keeping you around
Of keeping you around
Of keeping you around
