Favourite Alibi

FAVORITE ALIBI

You say that you’re done but I don’t believe you

We’ve known each other since eighteen

And maybe I’m drunk or I’ve got amnesia

But it feels like you’re trying to quit this scene

I heard your parting words after the show

You it’s time to just give up and let this go

I want to find you

I want to show you the light that you can be

I want to give you the stars that you can’t see

I want to watch you catch that dream and not just try

I want you to fight back

I want you to figure out the case that you can’t crack

I want you to set that heart on the right track

I want you to show the whole world why

You're my favourite alibi

After all of these years it can start to feel like

You’re chasing a runaway train

Or dancing with a moment in the spotlight

That you’re never going to see again

That time I said it’s late we should turn back

And you said punch me in the face if I ever talk like that

I want to find you

I want to show you the light that you can be

I want to give you the stars that you can’t see

I want to watch you catch that dream and not just try

I want you to fight back

I want you to figure out the case that you can’t crack

I want you to set that heart on the right track

I want you to show the whole world why

You're my favourite alibi

The only light I know

My favourite reason why

The only hand I’ll show

My favourite alibi

And one last thing that I meant to say to you

Is I know exactly how it feels

Cause I’ve been there myself too

And now that I’ve found you

I’m going to show you the light that you can be

I’m going to give you the stars that you can’t see

And I’m going watch you catch that dream and not just try

Oh and you’re going to fight back

You're going to figure out the case that you can’t crack

And you’re going to set that heart on the right track

You're going to show the whole world why

You’re my favourite alibi
