"Clownface" lyrics

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh

When I kissed you I swallowed my chewing gum
Your warm breath, it left me blind, deaf, and dumb
I'll speak if you want me to, I just don't know what I'd say
Cause every time I open my mouth, the words... they slip away

But just as you walk out of reach it's "I love you"
And just as I'm back on my feet it's "lay back down"
And if there's a smile on my face, I don't mean to
It's just the expression of a clown

(Of a clown)

Oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh

Well, you could never be the second to another (to another, to another)
And if I said I didn't need you, well, I guess it was a lie (lie, lie, lie)
I wanna show you that I meant to be a man (be a man, be a man)
And if I couldn't be a lover, well, I guess I didn't try (try, try, try)

But just as you walk out of reach it's "I love you"
And just as I'm back on my feet it's "lay back down" (lay back down)
And if there's a smile on my face, I don't mean to
It was just the expression of a clown

Yeah
