Lyrics The Tellers

The Tellers

I Lie

I told you I was a cosmonaut

And I lived out in St. Petersburg,

But all I do is dreamin'

All I do is dreamin'

I told you I got a really fast car

I get it for thanksgiving

But all I do is walkin'

All I do is walkin'

And I lie,

I lie for your eyes

And I lie for your smile.

I lie, I lie for your eyes

And I lie for your smile.

I told you I sailed the Seven Seas

on a ship named Tangerine,

But all I do is swimming,

All I do is swimming.

I told you I lived so many things,

From Paris to London,

From Brussells to Beijing,

But all I do is reading,

All I do is reading.

And I lie,

I lie for your eyes

And I lie for your smile.

I lie, I lie for your eyes

And I lie for your smile.

I told you one day, in your arms

On your cold lips that 'I love you'

And it's the only thing that's true,

It's the only thing that's true.

I lie, I lie for your eyes

And I lie for your smile.

I lie, I lie for your eyes

And I lie for your smile.
