Saving Face

(album: Fools - 2015)

Take a taxi to my place
Even though I'm not at home
Let's just pretend I'm saving face
Not letting you see me alone

I know it should have been me there
With my arms around your waist
Running my fingers through your hair
It's just not fun without the chase

Play these games because we're too proud
You call my name it makes me run and scream out loud
And then you swear it's alright
I guess I'll give it one night

I see you standing at my feet
It's your suggestion I should stay
It seems you've never seem felt so wrong
I promise I'll give it a day

You say you've never had a doubt
But there's confusion on your face
If biting bullets is all I have
Should I pretend to like the taste

We play these games because we're too proud
You call my name it makes me run and scream out loud
but then you swear it's alright
I guess I'll give it one night

Take a taxi to my place
Even though I'm not at home
Lets just pretend I'm saving face
Not letting you see me alone
