[Verse 1]
Coffee cups clink in the break room hush
Name tags flash like warning lights
Eyes roll hard when the door swings shut
Truth comes out in the fluorescent white
They lean in close over powdered cream
Spilling lives on paper plates
I’m stuck outside this thin blue glass
Chewing on my tongue
I wait
[Chorus]
If I could be a fly on the wall
Buzz in the dark by the picture frames
Hear every “you won’t believe this” call
Every sharp little crooked name
If I could be a stain in the hall
Just a speck where the secrets fall
Oh
I’d know it all
If I could be a fly on the wall
[Verse 2]
Bar stools tilt when the night runs long
Whispered sins in a jukebox glow
Loose lips slip on the cheap red wine
Phones face down so it doesn’t show
You walk out laughing
I’m left dumb
Staring holes in the swinging door
Wish I could cling to the exit sign
Catch your truth before it hits the floor
[Chorus]
If I could be a fly on the wall
Buzz in the dark by the picture frames
Hear every “you won’t believe this” call
Every sharp little crooked name
If I could be a stain in the hall
Just a speck where the secrets fall
Oh
I’d know it all
If I could be a fly on the wall
[Bridge]
What would I do with the dirt I’d find? (yeah)
Would it eat me up from the inside?
Or would I just laugh
Just shake my head
Sticky feet
Too wired for bed
[Chorus]
If I could be a fly on the wall
Buzz in the dark by the picture frames
Hear every “you won’t believe this” call
Every sharp little crooked name
If I could be a stain in the hall
Just a speck where the secrets fall
Oh
I’d know it all
If I could be a fly on the wall
