Lyrics
You don't need to laugh so hard
You don't have to wear a tie
Sometimes honest is bein' caught inside a lie
And I have been there
I have been there
If I'd lived an easy life
Would I still choose you? Would I fall on the same knife?
A rodeo queen breathing fire into the night
I have been there
Man, I've been there
What do you say we set the pleasantries aside?
Even the diamonds look like rocks to the untrained eye
What does it cost to buy your soul back when you die?
What are the angels gonna do with you and I?
I-I
What do the angels do with you and I?
Blame the end of days
Mercury in retrograde
Who believes in angels anyway?
The color of the lie is white
I would die on that hill in a one-handed fight
If you're not swingin' first you were never in the right
I have been there
Man, I've been there
What do you say we set the pleasantries aside?
Even the diamonds look like rocks to the untrained eye
What does it cost to buy your soul back when you die?
What are the angels gonna do with you and I?
I-I
What do the angels do with you and I?
Blame the end of days
Mercury in retrograde
Who believes in angels anyway? (Oh, no)
Blame the end of days
Mercury in retrograde
Who believes in angels anyway?
There's no need to curse the stars
Or bite before you bark
But when you need someone to walk with in the dark
I have been there
I have been there
I have been there (I have been there)
Man, I've been there
Woah, yeah, I been there
I've been there (man, I've been there)
I've been there (I've been there)
I-I
