Alaskan Lyrics by The Reputation

The Reputation

2002

And in the end, you took the easy way out
So I let it go that seemed the easier route
But I don't really feel like making you feel better about it
Don't worry, I've done plenty of practicing
These days, I say goodbye more than anything
And it's days like these that remind you why
You learned how to tell such convincing lies
You just shrug it all off and say everything's fine
And when Alaskan boys bear regretful smiles
You return them all with the same flat eyes
You think you're too old for this shit anymore but you try
The other night, you tried to explain
I couldn't think what it would matter
Or why it would change things
And darling, you underestimated me
Don't worry, I've done plenty of practicing
These days, I say goodbye more than anything
And it's days like these that remind you why
You learned how to tell such convincing lies
You just shrug it all off and say everything's fine
And when Alaskan boys bear regretful smiles
You return them all with the same flat eyes
You think you're too old for this shit anymore but you try
Every time you put your clothes on
I'm so convinced it's over
And still, you keep coming around
You don't see what you're taking
Make rules so we can break 'em
And still, you keep coming around
(Don't worry, I've done plenty of practicing)
Every time you put your clothes on
I'm so convinced it's over
And still, you keep coming around
(These days, I say goodbye more than anything)
You don't see what you're taking
Make rules so we can break 'em
And still, you keep coming around
But there's nothing I can say
That's just how you are
Nothing I can do to ease your mind
Get things back to the way we thought they were
I put my hand down and walked away
But I bet that you come back around someday
Nothing I can say
That's just how you are
That's just how you are
That's just how you are
That's just how you are
