I guess you could say I kinda like a reaction

And I know it sounds trite yet I can't get no satisfaction

From the money or the sex

Or the futile feelings of drugs in excess

And I'm always kinda thinking that I'm always kinda thinking

About what it would take to be satisfied

And for as much as I wonder and as much as I ponder

I still feel like I'm towing the line



Phony smiles and fake hellos

Only reveal what we already know

That we're just two perfect people living two perfect lives

Lying and trying to be anything tonight



We could hang out high on the cross I've hung

Hide out in the shade from the friends and the fun

Cause they don't know, like I know

All that glitters will turn to gold

And I think it's kinda funny how we both think it's funny

That we both kind of feel like losing our minds

And we talk a good game when we're out with our friends

But all alone we're both awkward and shy



Phony smiles and fake hellos

Only reveal what we already know

That we're just two perfect people living two perfect lives

Lying and trying to be anything tonight



Nervous eyes they're flashing like cats

Phony smiles and big wide laughs

Nodding yes, but saying no

The truth won't change wherever it goes



Phony smiles and fake hellos

Only reveal what we already know

That we're just two perfect people living two perfect lives

Lying and trying to be anything tonight



Tonight is the night

You can be anything you want in life

Cause it's just you and me

Living our dreams so innocently
