Manners
We Are the In Crowd Lyrics

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Repeating the phrase to emphasize the tone of the song

Someone should teach you some manners
The singer is aware of someone's rude behavior and wishes they would learn some manners

I wish I had a camera
The singer wishes they could capture the moment when the person's own words come back to bite them

I think you've got more nerve than you've got tact
The person being addressed is more confident and bold than they are polite or aware of other people's feelings

I wanna take a picture
The artist wants to capture the moment of retribution for the person's bad behavior

Of the look when your words bite your back
The singer wants to capture the expression on the person's face when they realize that their words and actions have negative consequences

Remember how I showed you out just like that
The singer remembers with satisfaction how they made the person leave quickly and easily

What do you see when you close your eyes
The artist questions the person's inner thoughts and self-reflection

Do you sleep
The artist wonders if the person is able to rest peacefully despite their bad behavior

I know you do and I'm not surprised
The artist is not surprised that the person is able to sleep despite their bad behavior

While your ego keeps you warm
The person's ego provides them with comfort and self-assurance

It's burning
The person's ego is destructive and causes them to burn bridges with others

All the bridges that you start
The person initiates relationships or connections with others, but then damages them with their behavior

You're so transparent
The singer can easily see through the person's insincere or fake behavior

I see straight through your empty chest
The singer sees past the person's bravado and realizes they have nothing genuine to offer

And spineless back
The person lacks the courage and conviction to stand up for what they believe in

I've seen enough not to trust
The artist has witnessed the person's behavior before and does not trust them

I think enough is enough
The singer has had enough of the person's bad behavior

You got too close
The person crossed a line or boundary with the singer

You know I'm terrible
The artist recognizes their own weakness or flaw, but still feels justified in their actions

At keeping track of sleep
The artist struggles with insomnia or sleep deprivation

It always seems to sneak away
Sleep is elusive and difficult for the artist to achieve

Along with wolves like you
The person being addressed is compared to a wolf, which is traditionally a symbol of deceit or danger

Dressed as counting sheep
The person tries to appear harmless or innocent, but is actually malicious and harmful

Now I'm right back here to haunt you
The singer has come back to confront the person and make them face the consequences of their actions

You can never be honest
The singer believes that the person is incapable of being sincere or truthful in their words and actions

Not the first or the last
The person being addressed has a history of bad behavior and is not likely to change

I promise
The artist is committed to standing up to the bad behavior of others and holding them accountable
