Party Trick

(album: marginalia - 2022)

Someone's house
With a city view
And a girl I've known
For a day or two
Light a cigarette
By the outdoor pool
If I hold my breath
Will you jump in, too?

All of a sudden, I melt into you
And I don't even know you
But I'll act like I do
'Cause

I always end up doing shit like this
Saying "I love you" for a party trick
Drink your attention 'til it makes me sick
Just for the night, I'll make you mine
Just for the night, just for the night

Then the buzz is up
And my head's too loud
'Cause I tried us on
But it wore me out
When we both jumped in
I almost drowned

I always end up doing shit like this
Saying "I love you" for a party trick
Drink your attention 'til it makes me sick
Just for the night, I'll make you mine
Just for the night, just for the night
Just for the night, just for the night

All of a sudden, I'm missing you
But I'd be a fool to think you miss me, too
'Cause after the party, you'll meet somebody new
And I'll do it all over
That's just what I do
'Cause

I always end up doing shit like this
Saying "I love you" for a party trick
Drink your attention 'til it makes me sick
Just for the night, I'll make you mine
I always end up doing shit like this
Saying "I love you" for a party trick
Drink your attention 'til it makes me sick
Just for the night, I'll make you mine
Just for the night, just for the night
Just for the night, just for the night
Just for the night, just for the night
Just for the night, just for the night
