Favorite Liar
The Wrecks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember going out to see the big rides
Went without you knowing, hope you're not too mad, I go a lot
I go a lot

I remember weekends, when we got too cool for them
And I remember thinking, maybe we could just pretend tonight
That just tonight
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna wake up feeling tired
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna lay there for a while
But that don't change that you're a liar, a liar

Hold yourself up higher and higher
I'mma find the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now and you're fake
You're such a liar
My favorite liar

I remember weekends, fighting over everything
And I can almost taste it, the bloody lip you left me with that night
Kiss me one last time
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna show you what it's like
I wanna be the one to show you what you're missing every night
Ooh, every night

It's too bad that you're a liar, a liar
Hold yourself up higher and higher
I'mma find the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now and you're fake
You're such a liar
My favorite liar
I got room to grow
I know I'm missing home, but
You think I'm alone and
I think you should know that
I've got pretty girls
Yeah, I've got pretty girls, takin' me home

I've got room to grow
I know I'm missing home, but
You think I'm alone and
I think you should know that
I've got pretty girls
Yeah, I've got pretty girls, takin' me home

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna lay there for a while
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna wake up feeling liked

It's just too bad that you're a liar, a liar
Catch me in your fire, your fire
'Cause I will never be less than what you want
I've got good news, I've had enough
To start a fire, a fire

Liar, a liar
Hold yourself up higher and higher
I'mma find the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now and you're fake
You're such a liar
My favorite liar

I remember waking up in Colorado
You said that it was raining




I tried to hide away but you said no
You made me love the rain

"Favorite Liar"

I remember going
Out to see the big rocks
Went without you knowing
Hope you're not too mad
I go a lot, I go a lot

I remember weekends
'fore we got too cool for them
And I remember thinking
Maybe we could just pretend tonight
For just tonight

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna wake up feeling tired
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna lay there for awhile

But that don't change that you're a liar, a liar
Hold yourself up higher and higher
Cuz I'm not buying the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now anyway
You're such a liar
My favorite liar

I remember weekends
Fighting over everything
I can almost taste it
The bloody lip you left me with that night
Kiss me one last time

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna show you what it's like
I wanna be the one to show you what
You're missing every night
Oh every night

Too bad that you're a liar, a liar
Hold yourself up higher and higher
Cuz I'm not buying the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now anyway
You're such a liar
My favorite liar

I've got room to grow
I know I'm missing home
But you think I'm alone
And I think you should know
That I've got pretty girls
Yeah, I've got pretty girls taking me home
[x2]

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna lay there for awhile
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna wake up feel alive

It's just too bad that you're a liar, a liar
Cast me into your fire, your fire
Cuz I will never be less than what you want
I've got good news I'm heading off
To start a fire, a fire
Liar, a liar
Hold yourself up higher and higher
Cuz I'm not buying the things you wanna say
I've heard 'em all now anyway
You're such a liar
My favorite liar

I remember waking up in Colorado
You said that it was raining
I tried to hide away, but you said no
You made me love the rain

Could see this song being in the trailer for some angsty teen movie. Real good tho. 10/10.

@TheWrecks

Ok, just now seeing this, but like... that's almost exactly what it became. Look up the show All Night's trailer......... if you could send us next week's power ball numbers, that'd be great.

@EricaDeCosta

The Wrecks Ok, just now seeing this, wish I could’ve helped you out with those power ball numbers lmao. No but I legit did freak out when I heard it in that trailer cause I called it. 😂
