It was obvious, but I just couldn't see it
How to stay on the playlist, stay edgeless and pretty
How to avoid the red marks, that are so carelessly damning
To shake off the truth and retain the glamour

Have you heard all the stars that are relentlessly living?
You care that the world can be so unforgiving
It's so desperately easy to fall out of orbit
Now I'm all but out and it's so certainly for it

There's only one more step I know
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess I'm readyhere we go

I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There's nowhere else to go

In the end will be my beginning
To get on the A-list I'll just quit when I'm winning
To forgive not forget, to repent not regret
And to close my eyes would be my bravest move yet

And I wake up and it's my finest hour
Then the party ends and the sweetness turns sour
It's so desperately easy for me to employ it
The only catch is I'm not here to enjoy it

There's only one more step I know
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess I'm readyhere we go

I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go

Whoo-whey, whoo-whey, whoo whoo (x4)

There's only one more step I know
I guess I'm readyhere we go

I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go

I've been getting drunk and playing with matches
Listening to the radio in the bath
I've been crossing main roads with my eyes closed
With my name in lights or my name in stone
