lyrics

I've been taking swims in the midnight glow
Wondering what the frat house already knows
I take a breath try to let it go
Suddenly I'm bright-eyed and totally sure
Listening to the club queens prance and purr
Taking my shot that I might deserve
I know I'm probably as fragile as I ever was
Blind deaf and dumb from the lights and the buzz
Bragging about pulling myself off of the right route

'Cause I brought the whiteout
I can put back together every plan they pull apart
Know who I want
Know what I am

Kelly take a dip in the midnight sea
Fat friends gotta live vicariously
You can take it all, but there's a fierce fee
Chasing a consolation prize
Been that way since junior high
And I'm still trying to find where mine lies
And if our newfound crudeness has got you hooked
On justifying every last order you took
Then I can get behind the power of my own doubts

'Cause I brought the whiteout
And we can put back together every plan I pulled apart
Write in the dark, write in the dark, write in the dark
'Cause I brought the whiteout
Now I'm the beggar at the banquet in your heart
Know who I want
Know what I am

You don't want to be a racehorse up for sale
Just another face behind a veil
Another hi-five in a tall tale
But there's a lot of dough around these parts
To clog up any bleeding heart
You can easily just play your part or you could
Come Alive
