open mic - jake mckelvie & the countertops lyrics

Loading...

tonight’s open mic night, you scream then you sit
you chew on your cheeks and you choke on your spit
if life’s like a movie then it isn’t well lit
and no one applauds when it’s over

so you walk in the rain as the city gets rinsed off
you pick at my brain but you don’t wipe your prints off
you blot at the stain with a sponge and a washcloth
and hope that n0body will notice

you want to cut to the heart of the human condition
but you can’t figure out where to make the incision
and it’s never been clear if there’s anyone listening
since i know you didn’t hear me when i said

don’t ease me in then slam the breaks
don’t take the bet then raise the stakes
don’t write me out of this one for goodness sakes
i’m just now getting the feeling

don’t be such an easy laugher
don’t confide in a grip or a gaffer
you best not sleep through the second half
i’m not explaining the ending

and if i don’t go where you go
does that mean i’m in trouble
let’s say i take it slow
does the rate or the rent get doubled?
