Chutes & Ladders
He smokes another cigarette
He's got the posture of an honest man
And now he's floating through my city
Got some quarters in his jeans and he knows he's pretty
He's got the confidence for these type of things
Somehow I pulled him from the corner of a bar across the street
And while I'm shades of flattered at some good romance and manners
Oh, I fear I'm doing better with no hands to comfort me
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretеnd love's Chutes and Ladders
I'll prеtend love's Chutes and Ladders
'Til the game stops playing me
He smokes another cigarette
This time I'm watching from my lover's bed
Where spent a couple evenings
Though I never get much sleep
And I can't help thinking is this moving all too quick
I know I swore I wouldn't stick around for more than just a week
And while I'm shades of flattered at some bedside table banter
Oh, I fear I'm doing better with no hands to comfort me
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
I'll pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
'Til the game stops playing me
And he, he doesn't even notice it
That I'm sinking in way too deep
And he, he doesn't even keep it in
All those promises we would never keep
He smokes another cigarette
This time I'm sitting right across from him
At a table, at a park
Where we decide to meet
And now I'm choking
On the things I'll never say to him
'Cause I know he won't remember
All the things he said to me
And while I'm shades of flattered at some good romance and manners
Oh, I fear I'm doing better with no hands to comfort me
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
I'll pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
'Til the game stops playing me
He smokes another cigarette
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
He smokes another cigarette
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
He's got the posture of an honest man
And now he's floating through my city
Got some quarters in his jeans and he knows he's pretty
He's got the confidence for these type of things
Somehow I pulled him from the corner of a bar across the street
And while I'm shades of flattered at some good romance and manners
Oh, I fear I'm doing better with no hands to comfort me
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretеnd love's Chutes and Ladders
I'll prеtend love's Chutes and Ladders
'Til the game stops playing me
He smokes another cigarette
This time I'm watching from my lover's bed
Where spent a couple evenings
Though I never get much sleep
And I can't help thinking is this moving all too quick
I know I swore I wouldn't stick around for more than just a week
And while I'm shades of flattered at some bedside table banter
Oh, I fear I'm doing better with no hands to comfort me
And I say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
I'll pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
'Til the game stops playing me
And he, he doesn't even notice it
That I'm sinking in way too deep
And he, he doesn't even keep it in

Oh, I fear I'm doing better with no hands to comfort me

I pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
I'll pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
'Til the game stops playing me
He smokes another cigarette
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
He smokes another cigarette
And I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
