lyrics

Twenty-two, city room. Spearmint gum and new perfume
Mask the smell of smoke filled lungs
Feeling wiser, but still look young
Trapped in this cloud, our eyes start to sting
How many times can we pass this thing?
Alone for the night or along for the ride
Ten bucks can go far if you give it a try

If I say it out loud, does that mean that there's a problem?
These habits won't die down, and I'm not sure that I can solve them.
Where's the x in the equation? Divided by my new fixation

We don't rely on this, we don't need a crutch
I'll do it myself or you can call my bluff
But I might drop out if it goes too far
I've got my own plans. I've got my own scars.

Later nights lit by city lights. Can it be wrong to feel so right?
Sinking in, seeping out. We pretend but there's no doubt.
Even through the haze there's an honesty that stays.
There's a look in my eyes that cannot be disguised

If I say it out loud, does that mean that this is something real?
Well I could quit right now, but flying solo doesn't have the same appeal.
Who's the x in the equation? Multiply by the temptation
