i caught it bad yesterday
you hit me with a call to your place
ain't been out in a while anyway
was hopin' i could catch you throwin' smiles in my face
romantic talkin'? you don't even have to try
you're cute enough to fuck with me tonight
cocaine and drinkin' with your friends
you live in the dark, boy, i cannot pretend
i'm not fazed, only here to sin
if eve ain't in your garden, you know that you can
call me when you want
call me when you need
call me in the morning
i'll be on the way
call me when you want
call me when you need
call me out by your name
i'll be on the way like
call me by your name
tell me you love me in private
call me by your name
i do not care if you're lyin'

"i’m sorry [mirakas], i’ve gotta go"
but —
"decisions are happening over dinner"
here’s the pièce de résistance:
no one else was in
the room where it happened
the room where it happened
the room where it happened
no one really knows how the game is played
the art of the trade
how the sausage gets made
we just assume that it happens
but no one else is in the room where it happens
no one really knows how the parties get to yes
the pieces that are sacrificed in every game of chess
we just assume that it happens
but no one else is in the room where it happens
my god, in god we trust
but we’ll never really know what got discussed
click-boom then it happened
and no one else was in the room where it happened
you got more than you gave
"and i wanted what i got
when you got skin in the game, you stay in the game
but you don’t get a win unless you play in the game
oh, you get love for it
you get hate for it
you get nothing if you
wait for it"
(wait for it)
(wait!)
i wanna be in
the room where it happens
the room where it happens
i wanna be in
the room where it happens
the room where it happens
the art of the compromise
hold your nose and close your eyes
we want our leaders to save the day
but we don’t get a say in what they trade away
we dream of a brand new start
but we dream in the dark for the most part
oh, i’ve got to be in the room where it happens!
[first half is part 2 second half is part 1]
you're never gonna love me, so what's the use?
what's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose?
what's the point in saying you love me like a friend?
what's the point in saying it's never gonna end?
you only ever touch me in the dark
only if we're drinking, can you see my spark?
you're too proud to say that you made a mistake
you're a coward 'til the end
i don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit
lies
don't wanna know, don't wanna know, oh
i can't let you go, can't let you go, oh
i just want it to be perfect
to believe it's all been worth the fight
lies
pov (pov): you're an icon ’cause you’re me
think about how many people know they're gay because of me
got that f-r-umlaut-h, my whole crew gettin’ guzzly
grab your man, he's trying to roleplay and be all snuggly
restrain before he piss me off too much and i complain
you'll never get that fucking tarnish off your name
you fuck with me you'll have to find a different space
stay in your place, get out my face
