Watch My Back Lyrics by BASECAMP

Greater Than

2015

[Verse 1]:
Sweet as our slumber
Sharp like an ax
Can you remember
How good what we had
You can’t tell me you don’t mean to
And I can’t act like this is right
The game we play has gotten oh so see through
But at the end of the day, what’s one more night?

[Chorus]:
So I watch my back
Whenever you are not at my front
Brace for attack
'Cuz I never really know what you want
But when the lights go down
It’s a torture that I cannot resist
I should turn around
I suppose I could stay if you insist

[Verse 2]:
Comes faster than falling
And it leaves like a ghost
So lovely, so haunting
My poisonous host
You can’t tell me you don’t love it
And I’d be lying if I said I mind
I could pretend that I am above it
But at the end of the day, what’s one more time?

[Chorus]
So I watch my back
Whenever you are not at my front
Brace for attack
'Cuz I never really know what you want
But when the lights go down
It’s a torture that I cannot resist
I should turn around
I suppose I could stay if you insist

[Bridge]:
I can play your fool
It’s such a small price to pay
Let me break your rules
I promise you won’t complain
I can play your fool
It’s such a small price to pay
Let me break your rules
I promise you won’t complain

[Chorus]
But I watch my back
Whenever you are not at my front
Brace for attack
'Cuz I never really know what you want
But when the lights go down
It’s a torture that I cannot resist
I should turn around
I suppose I could stay if you insist

Oh, ooh oh oh oh
Oh, ooh oh oh oh
Oh, ooh oh oh oh
Oh, ooh oh oh oh
