Blame It On The Obvious Ways

All the mistakes I made
I made because
I didn't know myself very well
And by this stage I feel like
I really shouldn't know myself

I'm forced into a sponsored silence
Where I'm only paid if I don't say
What I want to say

Open up your arms and say
I can't throw it all away
Open up your arms and say
I can't give it all away

I couldn't even care what you say
Change, you changed everything
And blame it on your obvious ways

I gamble my praises
And threw the jukebox
From my favorite phrases
As we cling to the nightclub walls
We whisper the words
We whisper them wrong

So, we screamed out the wrong words
Into our own song
And with a kiss that tasted like drugs
Which taste like we'll never
Ever make it home

Open up your arms and say
I can't throw it all away
Open up your arms and say
I can't give it all away

I couldn't even care what you say
Change, you changed everything
And blame it on your obvious ways

Throw me around
First, you've got to count me down
Don't you think
You should count me down
Before you throw me around?

You throw me into
Another move I can't remake
It changes everything

Open up your arms and say
Give it all away
I couldn't even care what you say
Change, you changed everything
And blame it on your obvious ways
