Pale Beneath The Tan (Squeeze) (Ann Version)

Lyrics

[Intro] (Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!) [Verse 1] 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 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 found someone that makes me feel 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'll wear it like a glove [Chorus] And a man who knows what he's talking Spoke to me today Said that no one's gonna listen 'Til 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 [Post-Chorus] No point to try No point to try No point to try No poi—huh, whatever [Verse 2] 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 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 [Chorus] So keep clapping, keep laughing Let 'em know you're still alive And if you feel like giving up At least let them think that you survived It's not funny, but keep laughing 'Cause at least you don't have to cry When you wake up in the morning And you know you're still alive [Post-Chorus] You're still alive Know you're still alive Know you're still alive Know you're still alive [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] And a man who knows what he's talking Spoke to me today Said that no one's gonna listen 'Til 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 [Post-Chorus] No point to try There's no point to try Little point to try There's no point to try
