BLAME IT ON OBVIOUS WAYS
All the mistakes I've made
I've made because
I didn't really know myself very well
And by this stage
I feel like I really shouldn't know myself
I'm forced into a sponsored silence
Where I'm only paid if I don't say
What I want to say
Open up your arms and say, "I can't throw it all away"
Open up your arms and say, "I can't give it all away"
I couldn't even care what you'll say
You change
You change everyday
And blame it on your obvious ways
I gamble my praises
And fill the jukebox full of my favourite phrases
As we cling to the nightclub walls
We whisper the words
We whispered them wrong
And so we screamed out the wrong words
In to our own song
And with a kiss that tasted like drugs
Which tastes like we'll never, ever make it home
Open up your arms and say, "I can't throw it all away"
Open up your arms and say, "I can't give it all away"
I couldn't even care what you'll say
You change
You change everyday
And blame it on your obvious ways
Throw me around
First you've got to calm me down
Don't you think you
Should calm me down before you throw me around?
You throw me in to another move I came and make
It changes everyday
Open up your arms and say, "Give it all away"
I couldn't even care what you'll say
You change
You change everyday
And blame it on your obvious ways
All the mistakes I've made
I've made because
I didn't really know myself very well
And by this stage
I feel like I really shouldn't know myself
I'm forced into a sponsored silence
Where I'm only paid if I don't say
What I want to say
Open up your arms and say, "I can't throw it all away"
Open up your arms and say, "I can't give it all away"
I couldn't even care what you'll say
You change
You change everyday
And blame it on your obvious ways
I gamble my praises
And fill the jukebox full of my favourite phrases
As we cling to the nightclub walls
We whisper the words
We whispered them wrong
And so we screamed out the wrong words
In to our own song
And with a kiss that tasted like drugs
Which tastes like we'll never, ever make it home
Open up your arms and say, "I can't throw it all away"
Open up your arms and say, "I can't give it all away"
I couldn't even care what you'll say
You change
You change everyday
And blame it on your obvious ways
Throw me around
First you've got to calm me down
Don't you think you
Should calm me down before you throw me around?
You throw me in to another move I came and make
It changes everyday
Open up your arms and say, "Give it all away"
I couldn't even care what you'll say
You change
You change everyday
And blame it on your obvious ways
