For The Camera - The Academic

Ended up in trouble

And didn’t know the way home

Left my opinions on the table

It’s probably better to be alone

Looks like we won’t make it

Can we just start again?

Don’t say goodbye

I’ve gotta go, smile for the cameras

Be nice and don’t forget your manners

You wanna feel something exciting

Wait until tomorrow, till we have the right lighting

Flashbacks to closing your eyelids

Last night you seemed so very quiet

Let’s go, smile for the cameras

Don’t cry for me

Sometimes when I wake up

Dreaming of you, so fluorescent

Holding back a message

A message full of questions

I know, I know, we need, we need, distance

Can we just start again?

Don’t say goodbye

I’ve gotta go, smile for the cameras

Be nice and don’t forget your manners

You wanna feel something exciting

Wait until tomorrow, till we have the right lighting

Flashbacks to closing your eyelids

Last night you seemed so very quiet

Let’s go, smile for the cameras

Don’t cry for me

Don’t say goodbye

Don’t say goodbye

Don’t say goodbye

Don’t say goodbye

Looks like we won’t make it any longer (Don't say goodbye, don’t say goodbye)

Last night, we seemed like strangers, oh-oh (Don't say goodbye, don’t say

goodbye)

I’ve gotta go, smile for the cameras

Be nice and don’t forget your manners

You wanna feel something exciting

Wait until tomorrow, till we have the right lighting

Flashbacks to closing your eyelids

Last night you seemed so very quiet

Let’s go, smile for the cameras

Don’t cry for me
