Lyrics Cold War Kids

Cold War Kids

Skip the Charades

You wait on letters

Fishing for any sign of life

Drinks after dinner

Your friends will get you to unwind

Let's skip the charades

Can we just speak plain?

I'm two left feet when

I'm home we tapdanced on broken glass

Somehow you manage

To keep your sense of humor in tact

Let's skip the charades

You're seeing right through me anyway

Can we just speak plain?

We're playing for the same team

But I'm the one that's acting like

Acting like

Acting like

I'm so strong

You're the one that's acting like

Acting like

Acting like

Nothing's wrong

You dodged the bullet

You do your best when you're busiest

You're disconnected

You can't find your name in the script

It was you who were wildest

It was you who floated above us all

I held on with wires

Will you come back down if I let you go?

Let's skip the charades

You're seeing right through me anyway

Can we just speak plain?

We're playing for the same team

But I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong

You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong

I'm the one that's acting like I'm so strong

You're the one that's acting like nothing's wrong

Can we skip the charades?

Just speak plain

Can we skip the charades?

Just speak plain

Can we skip the charades?

Just speak plain

Can we skip the charades?

Just speak plain
