[Verse]
And it starts the way we all expect
Boy meets girl, you know the rest
It's what comes after we are never told
That fatal flaw is getting, is getting old

[Verse]
It's not to say there's no way around
The falls you'll take leave something to be found
Storms coexist with all spectrums of wonder
Without a mess the canvas has lost all of its colour

[Pre-Chorus:]
So we do it again, and again, and again

[Chorus:]
We make our jokes, then we hope it all just goes away
We debase and deface to help pretend it's all ok
We make our jokes, then we hope it all just goes away
We debase and deface to help pretend it's all ok

[Verse]
So convinced it will be alright
Tragedy ends when you turn on the light
It's hard to learn the world is not forgiving
It's hard to see the tight rope we are living

[Interlude]
We can't erase the mistakes and the pain that goes along
With what we make when we take a chance and it all goes wrong
But there's still time, always time to react before you're gone
Take it up now, before your will is no longer strong

[Pre-Chorus:]
So we do it again, and again, and again

[Chorus:]
We make our jokes, then we hope it all just goes away
We debase and deface to help pretend it's all ok
We make our jokes, then we hope it all just goes away
We debase and deface to help pretend it's all ok
