What was I supposed to do?
You told me forever
I didn’t know we were just playin’
I can taste the sunlight in your step
Like one more drink
And I’m way beyond resisting you
I can feel it right beside her
Like it hangs around my neck
You could hold on even tighter
I’m a model citizen
I could go a little longer
If I’m welcomed like a guest
It might be a friendly gesture
If you introduce me to the rest
Living out “Tender Is the Night”
and I am your Leading Man
You’re clever, you’re never alone
Could you get the lights sweetheart?
(Could you get the lights sweetheart?)
I’m glad I found you
Out amongst the grey blue green
Swimming through you is pretty easy
I hope you find out
Whether you loved your father
I’m sorry you’re nervous all the time
I can feel it right beside her
Like it hangs around my neck
You could hold on even tighter
I’m a model citizen
I could go a little longer
If I’m welcomed like a guest
It might be a friendly gesture
If you introduce me to the rest
We’re living out “Tender Is the Night”
and I am your Leading Man
You’re clever, you’re never alone
Could you get the lights sweetheart?
I’ve been credited with the fall of man
