Talk Me Out of It

Talk Me Out of It

Lyrics and Music by Andrew Weiss

Last night I placed a bet that maybe someone would forget that today's my birthday

And when I opened my first card, paying up was really hard cause it forced me to admit that someone loves me

We're so used to looking the other way, I never thought that I'd come to say that I just missed the best part of the movie

It was a feature presentation, a figment of my imagination, and I never believe what's going on up there

Maybe I should know better than to put my trust in a hero

Cause no knows just what they did to get there

I know I have issues with my trust, and I frown on myself with disgust cause deep down I know that no one else is after me

But your idea of a good time is an idea different than mine, we can agree to disagree, just let me have my moment

Maybe I should know better than to try to count back from zero

It was always just a trick that they used to play

Someone try to talk me out of it, someone convince me that I'm wrong

I may not have the answer, but I'm always willing to learn

Someone try to talk me out of it, someone sing me a different song

I swear that I can take it, but you knew that all along, so talk me out of it, just talk me out of it

Well, I tried to invent a tradition to give up my superstition of stepping over cracks along the sidewalk Cause when people are afraid of giving themselves away, they're missing out on life, and I don't want that

But I fell flat on my face, as if the knots of my laces untied and I had never walked before

Cause in a way I never have, but I'm on a different path, and I'm covering up my tracks, so no one finds me

Maybe I should know better than to try to be a hero

Cause I'd be giving up more than I have

Someone try to talk me out of it, someone convince me that I'm wrong

I may not have the answer, but I'm always willing to learn

Someone try to talk me out of it, someone sing me a different song

I swear that I can take it, but you knew that all along, so talk me out of it, talk me out of it

But you can try to talk me out if it, convince me that I'm wrong

You can tell me the whole thing was a joke, and you were only playing along

You can try to talk me out of it, you can sing me a different song

I swear that I can take it, my skin was always strong, so talk me out of it

Talk me out of it, talk me out of it
