"I Am Fred Astaire" lyrics

"I Am Fred Astaire"

I'm under the assumption that
I'm gonna be the one that's leaving you
Tonight, oh, tonight
Well, I flipped every switch that
I could find on my way out just to upset you more
Just to keep you busy, just to make you angry
Just because you were right
Just because you were

All tired—scream—safe haven
"Let's get this out and on the table"

Fast forward to, say, four o' clock
I'm keeping time. I'm holdin'. We're always holdin'
We always holdin'
We're always holdin', holding out
And that's what got us here in the first place
You should have never come here alone
You should have never bothered at all, bothered at all

Scream—older and wiser
Still, filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, ah
I haven't been happier since
Older and wiser
Still, filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, ah yeah
I haven't been happier since
I haven't been happy, not since

Well, five o' clock, the floor caught fire with footsteps, my footsteps
And spread like a disease to the door
I'm stuttering through it, but I hear it
Well, I-I I hear it's good t-t-to stick to what you know
And you know the whole lot of this
It all could have been avoided when
You were court side for this nightmare
Well, since then I got myself—come and listen

Older and wiser
Still, filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, ah
(I haven't been happier since)
Older and wiser
Still, filled with resentment
We get it, we get it, ah
I haven't been happier since
I haven't been happier since, Bree Ann
I haven't been happier since, Bree Ann
I haven't been happier since, Bree Ann
I haven't been happier, not since, ah

Well, we used to get so much more
I used to, I used to, too
It used to take so much more
I used to, I used to, I used to too
And I used to, I used to, too
