I guess you could say I kinda like a reaction
And I know it sounds trite yet I can’t get no satisfaction
From the money or the sex
Or the futile feelings of drugs in excess
And I’m always kinda thinking that I’m always kinda thinking
About what it would take to be satisfied
And for as much as I wonder and as much as I ponder
I still feel like I’m towing the line
Phony smiles and fake hellos
Only reveal what we already know
That we’re just two perfect people living two perfect lives
Lying and trying to be anything tonight
We could hang out high on the cross I’ve hung
Hide out in the shade from the friends and the fun
Cause they don’t know, like I know
All that glitters will turn to gold
And I think it’s kinda funny how we both think it’s funny
That we both kind of feel like losing our minds
And we talk a good game when we’re out with our friends
But all alone we’re both awkward and shy
Phony smiles and fake hellos
Only reveal what we already know
That we’re just two perfect people living two perfect lives
Lying and trying to be anything tonight
Nervous eyes they’re flashing like cats
Phony smiles and big wide laughs
Nodding yes, but saying no
The truth won’t change wherever it goes
Phony smiles and fake hellos
Only reveal what we already know
That we’re just two perfect people living two perfect lives
Lying and trying to be anything tonight
Tonight is the night
You can be anything you want in life
Cause it’s just you and me
Living our dreams so innocently
