Mr. Brightside
Comin' out of my cage
Doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
Only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
She's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
She's takin' a drag
And goin' to bed
My stomach is sick
It's all in my head
She's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look
It's killing me
And it's taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside tonight
I never
I never
I never
I never
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside
Comin' out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
I never
I never
I never
Doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
Only a kiss
It was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
She's calling a cab
While he's havin' a smoke
She's takin' a drag
And goin' to bed
My stomach is sick
It's all in my head
She's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
I just can't look
It's killing me
And it's taking control
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside tonight
I never
I never
I never
I never
Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
I'm Mr. Brightside
Comin' out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
I never
I never
I never
