Life (of the Party)

(Verse 1)

Look at you go

Coming out of your shell again

Have you heard the word no?

Trying to be your friend

The margaritas were bottomless

And that’s what you are

Passing out in the bathroom

And throwing up in my car

I held your hair by the toilet

As you started to cry

Said you hate every mirror

But won’t tell me why

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)

You laugh like it’s nothing

But your hands start to shake

Every joke getting louder

Every smile looking fake

(Chorus)

We’re dancing on the edge of a warning sign

Ignoring the wreckage, pretending we’re fine

Streetlights spinning, lost in time

You say you’re good

We both know you’re lying

I’m dragging you out of another bar

Counting scars you call your stars

You fade out while I drive your car

Just a day in the life

Trying to get you home alive

(Verse 2)

Sun through the curtains

Drawing lines on your face

Mascara confessions

You’re trying to erase

Coffee goes cold

On the edge of the sink

You laugh it off softly

But I see what you think

Keys on the counter

Shoes lost somewhere outside

You say it was nothing

We both know you’re lying

(Pre-Chorus 2)

Daylight on the damage

Truth we can’t outrun

I feel us drifting further

From who we’ve become

Never learning lessons

Every warning caught

Same old conversation

Refusing to be taught

(Chorus)

We’re dancing on the edge of a warning sign

Ignoring the wreckage, pretending we’re fine

Streetlights spinning, lost in time

You say you’re good

We both know you’re lying

I’m dragging you out of another bar

Counting scars you call your stars

You fade out while I drive your car

Just a day in the life

Trying to get you home alive

We’ll have to wait awhile

But we’ll make it home alive
