Mr. Afterthought

Faded

Entertainin' all your one-way conversations

So I can pretend I'm not the king of second place

Only call when it's convenient

And we dance to this routine

Till you're gone again

We drive with eyes closed

We both know where this road is headin'

You givin' in, drive for the mile you move to the next thing

So shame on me again

We'll fake it as friends

You'll let me think I have a shot

If I play my cards right

There's some quick-drawing top gun

Will steal your attention

I'll be Mr. Afterthought by the end of the night

I can't help it

All my friends keep tellin' me to tuck my heart back in my sleeve

Another strike, misread, 'cause I'm swingin' for the fences (Fences)

Stuck in the outfield, while some trust-fund kid rounds the bases (Bases)

So shame on me again

We'll fake it as friends

You'll let me think I have a shot

If I play my cards right

There's some quick-drawing top gun

Will steal your attention

I'll be Mr. Afterthought by the end of the night

I don't mind it

Headfirst and fallin'

I'll be Mr. Afterthought by the end of the night

Fool me once, and

I'll blame you

Fool me when I call your bluff

Now I'll have no excuse, mm, yeah

So shame on me again

We'll fake it as friends

You'll let me think I have a shot

If I play my cards right

There's some quick-drawing top gun

Will steal your attention

I'll be Mr. Afterthought by the end of the night

I don't mind it

Headfirst and fallin'

I'll be Mr. Afterthought by the end of the night
