lyrics

Drifting on a Saturday night
Drowning out your state of mind
You gave away too much of yourself
Trying to become somebody else
Fall into the back of a cab
Greatest night you've ever had
But you can't look yourself in the eye
You can't look yourself in the eye

Tell yourself you don't mean it
It just came out
Tell yourself you don't need it
But you seek it out
Tell yourself you don't need it

Remember your Saturday nights
Start to pick a fight with your mind
You broke off a piece of yourself
Latched it onto somebody else
Pretend to seek a quieter life
Find yourself a pretty new wife
She's your perfect glittering prize
And you can't look yourself in the eye

Tell yourself you don't mean it
It just came out
Tell yourself you don't need it
But you seek it out
Tell yourself you don't need it

It's a long climb
To the top of the slide
Watch yourself on the way down
