As the comedy starts
Everything's okay
But if you watch it too often
You'll never laugh again
You said you're on the mend
But you're running in circles again
And the money you lent
Never got returned
And the friends that you made
Aren't what you thought they were
And it gets you down
Nothing'll bring you 'round
So you're getting up
And you're getting out
A blank canvas is not enough
Need to draw on different stuff
You say you don't wanna know
If it don't look like gold
So you move to a different town
New surroundings won't turn things 'round
And it gets you thinking maybe it's you
'Cause the answеr's not the Midas touch
'Cause I would wanna hold you too much
If she's gonе already
From where I'm standing
To be perfect is to be untrue
Yeah, it's something that we just can't do
So let's go without it tonight
And maybe you'll find the gold you've been holding all this time
And you wanna not care
How you look naked
But the clothes that you wear
Reveal that you fake it
No one's really buying into that dress
You're a smart girl making her own mess
Nobody else cares
So act freely
A blank canvas is not enough
Need to draw on different stuff
You say you don't wanna know
If it don't look like gold
So you move to a different town
New surroundings won't turn things 'round
And it gets you thinking maybe it's you
'Cause the answer's not the Midas touch
'Cause I would wanna hold you too much
And she's gone already
From where I'm standing
To be perfect is to be untrue
Yeah, it's something that we just can't do
So let's go without it tonight
And maybe you'll find the gold you've been holding all this time
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
