Putting on a Show Lyrics by Chutes & Ladders

Putting on a Show

2017

[Verse 1]
Honestly, I’ve been losing sleep
I can’t find no peace in counting sheep
My apologies for the urgency
There’s no emergency
But I buried the lead
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve been up for seven days
Trying to wish it all away
Sick and tired of making the same mistakes
And I’ve been lying to your face
Like I don’t want your family name
Playing the part so we can play it safe
[Post-Chorus]
Putting on a show (oh-oh)
Putting on a show
Out of touch but in control
Putting on a show (oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
I could keep speaking tongue-in-cheek
Bury words I mean in deep with pleasantries
Best believe I would set the scene
But I’ve been pushed to the brink
And now I’m on my knees
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’ve been up for seven days
Trying to wish it all away
Sick and tired of making the same mistakes
And I’ve been lying to your face
Like I don’t want your family name
Playing the part so we can play it safe
[Post-Chorus]
Putting on a show (oh-oh)
Putting on a show
Out of touch but in control
Putting on a show (oh-oh-oh)
[Bridge]
Puppet and puppeteer
Getting lost on the trails I cleared
Tasked to tame, but I’m the one that’s caged
Slave and master, one and the same
[Chorus]
I’ve been up for seven days
Trying to wish it all away
Sick and tired of making the same mistakes
And I’ve been lying to your face
Like I don’t want your family name
Playing the part so we can play it safe
[Post-Chorus]
Putting on a show (oh-oh)
Putting on a show
Out of touch but in control
Putting on a show (oh-oh-oh)
