Gin & Attention

You’ve heard all my jokes before
But I saw you laughing anyway
I heard you telling one of my stories
Don't say I never gave you anything
You look so cute on that barstool
I watch your fingers trace
Little patterns in the condensation rings
Do you wanna come home with me
Do you wanna come home with me
I’m just drunk on gin and attention
Tell me anything you want me to forget
‘Cause my brain feels like a champagne bubble
Leave me to my audience
I’m just drunk on gin and attention
Tell me anything you want me to forget
‘Cause my brain feels like a champagne bubble
Leave me to my audience
So do you wanna step outside for a minute
Pretty girls don’t light their own cigarettes
And the fresh air sounds exhilarating
Are there any stars we can see
From this dive-bar patio
Do you wanna come home with me
Do you wanna come home with me
I’m just drunk on gin and attention
Tell me anything you want me to forget
‘Cause my brain feels like a champagne bubble
Leave me to my audience
I’m just drunk on gin and attention
Tell me anything you want me to forget
‘Cause my brain feels like a champagne bubble
Leave me to my audience
Paint my face
Put on my armor
You always said that I could be
I could be such a charmer
And my brain feels like a champagne bubble
Ready to pop
The effervescence makes me giddy
And i don’t know when to stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
Stop
I’m just drunk on gin and attention
Tell me anything you want me to forget
‘Cause my brain feels like a champagne bubble
Leave me to my audience
I’m just drunk on gin and attention
Tell me anything you want me to forget
‘Cause my brain feels like a champagne bubble
Leave me to my audience

Mean To Be Mean
02:04

Didn’t have to pretend to forget to call
I didn’t think of you at all
It’s a wonder you think of me
Maybe this time I’m finally done obsessing
And done with the second guessing
Everything you said to me
But i didn’t mean to be mean
To be mean to you
But i guess you just bring
Out the worst in me don’t you
I guess I’d just rather dance with strangers
Than talk to you
When I said i’d give you just one more chance
Well I guess I’ll have to break my word like you always do
We were no good for each other
Always just pressing buttons
Fighting until we scream
No more waiting it out in our corners
Counting on disappointments
Wondering what it means
That i didn’t mean to be mean
To be mean to you
But i guess you just bring
Out the worst in me don’t you
I guess I’d just rather dance with strangers
Than talk to you
When I said i’d give you just one more chance
Well I guess I’d rather dance with strangers
I’d rather dance with a stranger
Than talk to you
When i said i’d give you just one more chance
Well I guess I’d rather dance with a stranger than talk to you

Shakedown

I’ve still got dirt
Caked beneath my broken fingernails
Still feel the blood
Oozing down in jagged trails
And I think of home
Though I swore never to return
I only wish I’d thought to cross you first
Remember all those years before
We pricked our thumbs and then we swore
We’d never count our sins
Not like the coins in our pockets
But now I’m face down
Face down in the dirt
Why don’t you shake shake shake shake
Me down for all I’m worth
You got me face down
Face down in the dirt
Shake shake shake shake me down
For all I’m worth
I wait for death to claim me
But cheating her just made her angry
And I worshipped you like an old god
All endless toil and no hope for reward
But now I’m face down
Face down in the dirt
Why don’t you shake shake shake shake
Me down for all I’m worth
You got me face down
Face down in the dirt
Shake shake shake shake me down
For all I’m worth

Broken Bone
04:04

Another lonely night
And I’m coming apart at the seams
I guess I’m not what you thought
‘Cause I’m not what I seem
And I don’t wanna be stitched back together
If there’s a thread left to see
‘Cause I’m not, I’m not, I’m not
Who I’ve been
I’ve got heart
Made out of stone
You put it there didn’t you
You should’ve known
That it won’t heal and mend like a broken bone
Oh no no no
It won’t heal and mend like a broken bone
No no no
It won’t heal and mend like a broken bone
Another long night i’d half forgotten
It’s harder to push you away than I thought then
I’m who you made me to be
Is this how you thought it would be
I guess you thought if you just left well enough alone
That time would heal and not that it’d steal away
The only love you’d ever known
You should’ve known
You should’ve known better
You should’ve learned by now
You should’ve known
You should’ve learned by now
That I’ve got a heart
And it’s turned to stone
I let you break it
Didn’t I let you break it
I should’ve known
That it won’t heal and mend like a broken bone
Oh no no no
It won’t heal and mend like a broken bone
No no no
It won’t heal and mend like a broken bone

Expensive Champagne
02:38
|

Please come over, babe
I’m so starved for attention
Tired of dancing all alone in my kitchen
Ohhh, Ohhh
Be my audience
Say you loved me
If I say
If I said
I missed you
We can dance like that’s what we’re supposed to do
But does she linger
Does she run through your veins like expensive champagne
Was she harder to forget than me
Gold drips from her fingertips
Diamonds hang from both her ears
She doesn’t count her time by heartbreaks
But by her ex-lovers
I know she lingers
I know she runs through your veins
Just like expensive champagne
I know she’s harder to forget than me
Because I can’t stop thinking about her
I can’t stop thinking about her
I can’t stop thinking about her, too

Old Flame
03:11

Is it too late to call you back now
Did you learn from mistakes
after all this time now
I’m moving on
up and out now
But is it too late
To fan this old flame
I don’t know what to say
‘Cause some things are better off unsaid
I think we had it good
But back then
We didn’t know any better
Am I always chasing something
Am I holding out for nothing
Is it too late to call you back now
Did you learn from mistakes
after all this time now
I’m moving on
up and out now
But is it too late
To fan this old flame
Not gonna bother you
With any drawn-out long goodbyes
Our resolutions falter
Whenever we swear it’s the last time
Your words are meaningless
Free drinks always taste the best
I’ll just bide my time
I’ll let him bite my lip
Am I always chasing something
Am I holding out for nothing
Is it too late to call you back now
Did you learn from mistakes
after all this time now
I’m moving on
up and out now
But is it too late
To fan this old flame
Moonlight held you in a faint glow
And your lips held your secrets in
And we dance until we’d
Wear these floorboards thin
Now it’s like I never knew you
I try so hard to forget you
But I keep holding on to something
Am I holding out for nothing
Is it too late to call you back now
Did you learn from mistakes
after all this time now
I’m moving on
up and out now
But is it too late
To fan this old flame
