Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta-gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now, I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
And she's takin' a drag
Now, they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
[Verse 2]
But she's touchin' his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Verse 3]
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Chokin' on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[Verse 4]
I'm comin' out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta-gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now, I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now, they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
[Verse 5]
But she's touchin' his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And taking control
[Verse 6]
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Chokin' on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
[Verse 7]
I never
I never
I never
I never
