lyrics

Sucker Me In

I made a public appearance today
To let everyone know I’m alive
I keep to myself most days
The green is hard to hide

Sometimes I need to go out - away from the screen
Chances are you’re hearing this on the side of the street
People walk past - eyebrows raise at me
Everywhere I go the feeling is bittersweet
You know it’s gold out West?
Can anyone here tell me what’s best?
I feel it in my chest, don’t have much left
I know what I want

I don’t think I’ll ever have enough
Reach your hand out and sucker me in
You look different closer up
But I can’t stop hitting rock bottom
I’ll die before I give it up
Quirky vibe, dreamy eyes
The green is hard to hide

Everybody look the other way
I don’t feel like getting dressed today
I self-destruct and give it a shrug
‘Cause I’m having so much fun

I did nothing yesterday
I hear the ticking time
Was it worth it? I can’t say
The green is hard to hide

Sometimes I need to go out - anywhere but here
Laugh to myself, enjoy atmosphere
When I’m alone my head stays clear
Look to the North no/know fear
You know it’s cold up there?
I live and love that life’s unfair
I keep sleep walking on air
I know what I want

I don’t think I’ll ever have enough
Reach your hand out and sucker me in
You look different closer up
But I can’t stop hitting rock bottom
I’ll die before I give it up
Quirky vibe, dreamy eyes, ooo
The green is hard to hide

Everybody look the other way
I don’t feel like getting dressed today
I self-destruct and give it a shrug
‘Cause I’m having so much fun

I’m having so much fun
I’m having so much fun
I’m having so much fun

I don’t think I’ll ever have enough
Reach your hand out and sucker me in
You look different closer up
But/and I can’t stop hitting rock bottom
I’ll die before I give it up
Quirky vibe, dreamy eyes
The green is hard to hide
