Canals - All Time Low

I am a critic

Of my own critical need to define myself

With wine, and words, and lovers

And friends who don’t understand

So there, I just said it

You know that admitting the problem is the first step

Towards repair, «We all recover»

Say the friends turned to wine-drunk lovers

Smile, tell me I’m alright

With a goodbye

You are so misleading

A kiss or a gunfight

High-noon or midnight

Darling, I don’t want to know

If I’m just a short sight on a cold night

The canals are freezing

So tell me I’m alright with a goodbye

Am I a villain?

Cast among heroes with all of their

Underwhelming overbearing struggles

To become what they’ll never be?

Friends to the wicked

Caution is calling, but nobody’s home

The lights are off, the party’s over

Now you’re stuck plucking three-leaf clovers

Smile, tell me I’m alright

With a goodbye

You are so misleading

A kiss or a gunfight

High-noon or midnight

Darling, I don’t want to know

If I’m just a short sight on a cold night

The canals are freezing

So tell me I’m alright with a goodbye

You’ve got the high ground

And I’m on my best defense

But I dare you to come down

I’ll give you an eye for an eye

If it makes things easy…

Smile, tell me I’m alright

With a goodbye

You are so misleading

A kiss or a gunfight

High-noon or midnight

Darling, I don’t want to know

If I’m just a short sight on a cold night

The canals are freezing

So tell me I’m alright with a goodbye

Smile, tell me I’m alright

With a goodbye
