[Verse 1]
Honestly
I’m starting to wonder if you’re onto me
I guess if you were, what could the problem be?
Maybe it’s better if you know how I feel

[Verse 2]
Driving me to
Way more than distraction every time I see you
You wanna do things different this time, well, me too
It doesn’t make sense to keep identifying with pain that we feel, no

[Chorus]
We’ve had our share of bad omens
But we’ll turn them into good with each other
Running towards you wide open
Don't wanna give you nothing else to discover
We’ve had our share of bad omens
But we’ll turn them into good if we’re able
Running towards you wide open
So let’s put all of our cards on the table

[Verse 3]
Honestly
I'm starting to think we both deserve a treat
Both been told some hurtful things between the sheets
Maybe it's better we're together to heal

[Verse 4]
And I don't need you
I'm doing fine alone but every time I see you
I make a little more peace with everything I've been through
It doesn't make sense to keep identifying, 'cause none of it's real, no

[Chorus]
We’ve had our share of bad omens
But we’ll turn them into good with each other
Running towards you wide open
Don't wanna give you nothing else to discover
We’ve had our share of bad omens
But we’ll turn them into good if we’re able




Running towards you wide open
So let’s put all of our cards on the table

i don't know why but "shut your stupid mouth.. and die already" is one of my favourite quotes of his, the 'smile' afterwards is hilarious

My Fragrance Trail

It’s so American! I love it 😂😂😂😂

cyan.cephalopod

Yess and I love that it has consequences in s2!

North Shore Girl

Love what Jon Hamm did with this character! So glad he's back in S2!!!

Léa G

In two days : Best of Jon Hamm as Jim

Victoria R

Yay! That'll be so good 😂

Martina Wolf

Best of Jon Hamm as Jim, short for James, short for Gabriel

Leto Lethe

Jon only had a few minutes of screen time as shown here, but made such a big impact. His little hand gestures and fake-caring expressions as Gabriel are hilarious. Can wait to see him in S2 in a few hourrrrrrrrs!

Jamilya Yumaguzhina

His Gabriel is so perfect, the show wouldn’t be the same without him
