LYRICS:

you told me you could do my eyes
and i responded with a smile
the steam won’t lose the lipstick letter
from the mirror as it gets wetter and wetter
could you spare a kiss this december
for the memory we can’t remember
is there a place where i could hold your lips
upon the morning blossom as the dew drips

lets make this night a blur of spinning colors and rain
lets swear to god we’ll do this all again
let’s pull the blinds and stay in here just for a while
maybe roll around again oh god i’ll keep that smile

i hear your excuses for the blush across your cheeks
maybe our makeup will smudge across these hotel sheets

do you feel glamorous with your name up in lights
do you wish you were a star if only for one night
is this what you wanted is this what you need
i can feel you begging begging begging please

i feel so glamorous is this unresponsible
dub me notorious this is unbelievable
i won’t keep dreaming watching the stars fade away
i belong up among them what do i have to say

i hear your excuses for the blush across your cheeks
maybe our makeup will smudge across these hotel sheets

run for cover boys run for cover boys
here she comes
you’ll give her your heart she’ll take your soul
like an emotional vampire she’ll leave you with a gaping hole

she makes me want to be skinny (this is how i dream)
