Buttoned Down

What it was wasn't my fault

If I would have known, but

Who could have known?

The cameras and the kids

The candids and the kindling

We're fighting them all

They've done it again

What do her friends say?

Who was involved?

I'll call it all off

'Cause I should have known, but

Who could have known?

Who could have known?

[Chorus:]

The needles, the space

Time can't erase

And buttoned down, you'll get the best of me

The thrill of it all

The rise and the fall

And buttoned down, you'll get the best of me

On the way back to the bank

His head sinking low

He should have known

How hard did it come?

When was it that you

Lost your soul?

What does it take?

What did they make you?

What do you know?

Well, we've done it again, again, again

Now we'll let you in but

We should have known

We should have known

[Chorus]

Now, buttoned down, you'll get the best of me

Buttoned down, you'll get the best of me
