Verse: (piano)
You're skin brims
With the ink that I belong in
The ink that I am in
You sure know how to make a girl feel like trash
Pawn her straight in for cash and your done
CHORUS:
Pardon the expression
But I really hate to lose
Pardon the aggression
But you can't threaten me to choose
Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique
(repeat piano part for last line)
VERSE:
Get me on an amtrak
and do it fast
The tides of repercussions are looming from the past
There is no way
We could ever last
Fear is for sale in you and I
Remember when we talked about the warning signs
Remember when we talked about the warning signs
CHORUS:
Pardon the expression
But I really hate to lose
Pardon the aggression
But you can't threaten me to choose
Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique
(repeat piano part for last line)
INSTRUMENTAL
(Caleb solo-length of chorus)
VERSE:
Remember when we couldnt' sleep
when you got back to town
We tried to get so tired but wound up
Driving around
Fixated on getting
Underground
The windows got so foggy
My palms kicked up a sweat
I handed you a sentence
I would never forget
I gave you an exit
I gave you a warning sign
CHORUS:
Pardon the expression
But I really hate to lose
Pardon the aggression
But you can't threaten me to choose
Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique
(repeat piano part for last line)
BRIDGE:
Damn,
you're a pessimist
Damn
I'm a cynic
Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic
Damn,
you're a pessimist
Damn
I'm a cynic
Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic
Damn,
you're a pessimist
Damn
I'm a cynic
Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic
Damn,
you're a pessimist
Damn
I'm a cynic
Damn, I'm about to kiss my worst critic
CHORUS:
Pardon the expression
But I really hate to lose
Pardon the aggression
But you can't threaten me to choose
Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique
Outdated, Overrated and lost your mystique
