Skip The Charades Lyrics

You wait on letters


Fishing for any sign of life

Drinks after dinner

Your friends will get you to unwind



Let's skip the charades

Can we just speak plain?



I'm two left feet

When I'm home, we tap-danced on broken glass

Somehow you manage

To keep your sense of humor in tact



Let's skip the charades

You're seeing right through me anyway

Can we just speak plain?

We're playing for the same team




But I'm the one that's acting like

Acting like

Acting like

I'm so strong



You're the one that's acting like

Acting like

Acting like

Nothing's wrong


You dodged the bullet

You do your best when you're busiest

You're disconnected

You can't find your name in the script



It was you who were wildest


It was you who floated above us all

I held on with wires

Will you come back down if I let you go?



Let's skip the charades

You're seeing right through me anyway

Can we just speak plain?

We're playing for the same team



But I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong

You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong

I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong

You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong



Can we skip the charades?

Just speak plain

Can we skip the charades?


Just speak plain



Can we skip the charades?

Just speak plain

Can we skip the charades?

Just speak plain
