Pale Beneath the Tan (Squeeze) Songtext
von The Front Bottoms

Squeeze my arms a little tighter, let me know I′m still alive
You're the only one here keeping both my eyes open tonight
And I know that we got problems, who are they to criticize?
If I tell you all my secrets, will you tell me all your lies?

When I stop writing her letters, I want her to know that it′s because
I have someone that makes me feel the same exact way that she does
And I will not deny the privilege to someone else who wants my love
I have stitched a mask of confidence and I wear it like a glove

And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today
Said that no one's going to listen until you mean every word you say
So, if you can′t find the feeling, you better learn to lie
And if you know you′re gonna fail, then there's little point to even try
No point to try, no point to try, no point to try, no point (whatever)

I don′t get it for real, this is blowing my mind
We keep saying we're unhappy, they keep telling us we′re fine
I guess pain will be the only thing that I will ever get to bring
So I will send it through the air like a loosely gripped baseball bat swing
All I ever wanted is something different, maybe by another name
We could set ourselves on fire, there is cleansing in the flame


So keep clapping and keep laughing, let them know you're still alive
And if you feel like giving up, at least make them think that you survived
It′s not funny, but keep laughing, cause at least you don't have to try
When you wake up in the morning and you know you're still alive
You′re still alive, know you′re still alive
Know you're still alive, know you′re still alive

Until we break down, until we shut down
'Til the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground
Until we break down, until we shut down
′Til the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the ground
Until we break down, until we shut down
Until the weight of our lifeless bodies hit the cold, concrete ground

And a man that knows what he's talking, spoke to me today
He said that no one′s going to listen until you mean every word you say
So, if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie
And if you know you're gonna fail, there′s little point to even try

No point to try
There′s no point to try
Little point to try
There's no point to try
