Couldn't care less about the
Don't get stuck behind the unemployment line
Is the grass any greener on the other side
She said are we getting staler with time
Do you miss me more when we're hours behind
He's been waiting to unsheathe his charm
So he can get your sheets disarmed
But my eyes still follow you around the room
Doesn't really matter if in time we change
I'll still hate the records that you play
And you'll still be stuck in my head all day
So don't take what I say as read
You know I wrote the book
On how to look like you don't give a fuck
Lately I've not had much luck
He's been waiting to unsheathe his charm
So he can get your sheets disarmed
They all say that we've aged too soon
But my eyes still follow you around the room
Doesn't really matter if in time we change
I'll still hate the records that you play
And you'll still be stuck in my head all day
Doesn't really matter if in time we change
I'll still hate the records that you play
And you'll still be stuck in my head all day
