Fool's Gold

Lyrics

I hate to say it, but I think I'm getting too old
 The conversations that my mind won't even let me hold
 Your attention isn't worth my weight in fool's gold
 Wanna let go, can I let go?
 Started talking and you couldn't look in my eyes
 Told me stories 'bout you drinking on the fourth of July
 Every little truth, it turned into a big lie
 Why do I try? Why do I try?
 If I hold my breath 'til I fall asleep
 Will it be there when I wake?
 Maybe we can take some time
 Move out West where we can do this right
 Broken clock still keeps the time
 Who says I've got to stay in line?
 I'm so sick of these city lights
 Everything here's black and white
 I don't know where I went wrong
 But I surely did tonight
 It just me or is this music playing too loud?
 All the kids dressed in black, really getting me down
 Mother warned me about hanging with the wrong crowd
 Gotta get out, gotta get out
 Don't give a fuck if you intended to ignore me
 Wish that I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep
 That's your best friend, and she's passed out in the backseat
 She needs you more than me
 If I fall asleep with my hands held tight
 They'd be there when I wake
 And maybe we can take some time
 Move out West where we can do this right
 Broken clock still keeps the time
 Who says I've got to stay in line?
 I'm so sick of these city lights
 Everything here's black and white
 And she's calling me to bed
 But I will not sleep tonight, mm
 ♪
 I have a tendency to overthink in my head
 Let's just listen to some music and go back to bed
 Probably didn't hear a single word that I said
 Just forget it until the mornin'
