I tried to breathe fresh air tonight to a dead lung

As I spun around, as my head spun around

In your bed, lay silent, play dead

We'll spin around, we'll spin around

Stay in your bed, lay silent and play dead

The person I have stuck to my bones is boring

She stood me up

So I split the place, tried to save face

The party was lacking something to embrace

If all you're gonna do is ignore me

Took your hand

Followed you

Up the stairs
Did what you asked me too

In your room

Finally

Quiet now

I did what you said too
