Playing For Keeps (Acoustic) Lyrics by Matchbook Romance

Matchbook Romance / Motion City Soundtrack Split EP

2004

[Verse 1]
It's so simple and complicated
The way you can crush me
No matter how much this hurts, this is through
I get as far as your door before I get caught
I make up excuses just to touch you and I can't stop, I can't
[Chorus]
So are we playing for keeps
These days begin and they don't end for weeks
Leave me left out of anything to do with you
Excuse me while I fall apart
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car
Do you have to make this so hard?
[Verse 2]
You're so good at pretending everything is alright
You're as welcomе as cancer, but my door is always unlocked
[Chorus]
So are wе playing for keeps
These days begin and they don't end for weeks
Leave me left out of anything to do with you
Excuse me while I fall apart
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car
Do you have to make this so hard?
[Post-Chorus]
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
So are we playing for keeps
These days begin and they don't end for weeks
Leave me left out of anything to do with you
Excuse me while I fall apart
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car
Do you have to make this so hard?
So are we playing for keeps
These days begin and they don't end for weeks
Leave me left out of anything to do with you
Excuse me while I fall apart
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car
Do you have to make this so hard?
[Outro]
You're so good
You're so good
