lyrics

C: Asked your friends how you have been.
They said back on cigarettes -
L: I lit one up the night after you walked out.
You’ve been kinda out of touch,
Probably drinking way too much.
Both: But somehow I miss having you around.

Both: ‘Cause you make everything look good
C: Smoking cigarettes
L: Getting blackout drunk
C: Making bad decisions
Both: And I’m not movin’ on like I should.
‘Cause baby you make everything look good.

L: Thought I saw you yesterday
L: But was just some guy preaching on the train C: When I blinked you disappeared
L: Interrupting the peace of weary commuters. C: Am I losing my mind?
L: Made me want to reach back out.
Made me want to go to church.
Both: For the first time in my life, I was a believer.

Both: ‘Cause you make everything look good
C: Waking people up,
L: Making vague decrees,
Yelling on the subway.
Both: And I’m not movin’ on like I should.
‘Cause baby you make everything look good.

L: Last night at the bar
You kept reaching for her hand.
C: Well it’s a free world, and I don’t owe you nothing.
L: So I turned to walk away
C: I get why you couldn’t stay, but
Both: Would it have killed you to say something?

Both: ‘Cause you make everything look good.
L: Wasting people’s time.
C: Breaking people’s hearts,
L: Leaving things unspoken.
Both: And I’m not movin’ on like I should.
Cause baby you make everything look good.
