Shakedown

zero points for writing clever lines
about your styles and/or grace
when your home-truths hit the headlines
and left this whole town in your wake

shakedown
too much way too soon
you make out
in over-crowded rooms
and we know
everything about you

and I'd love to mention bridges burned
and rooftops where we sat
but we're already steeped in cliché
and my turn of phrase is back
i'm not sorry i'm just bored and sick
of the drama that comes with
doing all of this so well

so listen under covers like you're gonna get caught
and you can read these lines by hallway lights
from under the door
and we know
yeah we know
