Lyrics for Song: Bravado
Lyrics for Album: The Love Club EP [2012]
All my life
I've been fighting a war
I can't talk to you or your friends
It's not only you
My heart jumps around when I'm eluded to
This will not do
'Cause I was raised up
To be admired, to be noticed
But when you're withdrawn
It's the closest thing
To a someone who lies around you
This will not do
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm thinking glory
Lick my lips, toss my hair
And send a smile over
And the story's brand new
And I can take it from here
I'll find my own bravado
[Chorus]
It's a switch flicked, it's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, oh
And I can tell you that when the lights come on, I'll be ready for this
It's in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled without thinking of size
I was frightened of every little thing
That I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room
With no one around to find me out
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
It's a switch flicked, it's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, oh
And I can tell you that when the lights come on, I'll be ready for this
It's in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled without thinking of size
I was frightened of every little thing
That I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room
With no one around to find me out
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
