skip.that.party - X Ambassadors, Jensen McRae

Why'd I think you would let me in?

Why does wanting you feel like this?

I talk so much but I never get a word in edgewise

I made you come in so you couldn't stay

How'd we end up in this damn cliché?

You thought I loved you all I asked is if you're doing fine

Everybody went home, darling

Haven't you been getting lonely?

Why's it even matter to me?

I didn't mean it when I came too clean

I didn't mean it when I said those things but

I talk so much that I forget to filter out the razors

I don't know why I ever made those plans

It's not like you were even half the man

You thought I loved you all I asked is if you'd hear me out

Everybody's locked up, darling

Don't you ever wonder about us?

Why's it even matter to me now?

If I could go back and un-meet your friend

The one who told us to make nice, shake hands

If I could drink a little less red wine that night

I would tell myself to skip that party

I would do it in a fucking heartbeat

If I could write you out the narrative of my brief life

Everybody gets hurt, darling

Don't you know you can't avoid it

What's it even matter to you?

Why'd I leave a space for you in me?

Why's this wanting leave me so empty

I think so much but don't remember anything worth thinking 'bout

I know we had a decent run right through

I know I learned an awful lot from you but

You never loved me and I never could've saved you

Everybody's trying, darling

Don't you know you can try harder?

But what's it even matter to me now?

If I could go back and do it all again

Re-write the story of two childhood friends

And never gave you back your keys that fateful night

I would've said that we should skip that party

Make you sleep it off and call me in the morning

And I could make myself the hero in the end

Yeah, everybody gets hurt, darling

Don't you know you can't avoid it

What's it even matter to you?

Yeah, everybody gets hurt, darling

What's it even matter to you?

I don't even matter to you

Should've skipped that party

Should've, should've skipped that party

Should've skipped that party

Should've, should've skipped that party

Should've skipped that party

Should've, should've skipped that party

Should've skipped that party
