lyrics

"Blues (I'd Be Lying)" (by Austin Kaufmann)

Her:
Some days are blue, and some blues make me
So dazed and confused and so utterly unamused
That I cry out for you in the middle of the night.

Him:
I’ve got one broken promise that I mean to keep.
I barely tested the waters, but now I’m in too deep
To turn around and say, “So long and goodnight.”

Together:
What do you say we don’t get carried away.
Reality is knocking on our door.
I wish I could say that I’d be with you every day,
But I’d be lying like the rug on your floor.

Her:
We both know my friend, that it ain’t gonna be easy.
It ain’t gonna be breezy, but that all depends
On what happens after tonight.

Him:
We must be wise ‘cause we both know time flies.
But it would be futile to try to hide this beautiful
Thing that we’ve been building these nights.

Together:
What do you say we don’t get carried away.
Reality is knocking on our door.
I wish I could say that I’d be with you every day,
But I’d be lying like the rug on your floor.
