The Academic - For The Camera

Ended up in trouble
And didn't know the way home
Left my opinions on the table
It's probably better to be alone
Looks like we won't make it
Can we just start again

Don't say goodbye

I gotta go
Smile for the cameras
Be nice and don't forget your manners
You wanna feel something exciting
Wait until tomorrow till we have the right lighting
Flashbacks to closing your eyelids
Last night you seemed so very quiet
Let's go smile for the cameras
Don't cry for me

Sometimes when I wake up
Dreaming of you so fluorescent
Holding back a message
A message full of questions
I know we need distance
Can we just start again

Don't say goodbye

I gotta go
Smile for the cameras
Be nice and don't forget your manners
You wanna feel something exciting
Wait until tomorrow till we have the right lighting
Flashbacks to closing your eyelids
Last night you seemed so very quiet
Let's go smile for the cameras
Don't cry for me

Looks like we won't make it any longer
Last night we seemed like strangers

I gotta go
Smile for the cameras
Be nice and don't forget your manners
You wanna feel something exciting
Wait until tomorrow till we have the right lighting
Flashbacks to closing your eyelids
Last night you seemed so very quiet
Let's go smile for the cameras
Don't cry for me
