Lyrics

Action Cat

We want television bodies that we can't keep
We have battles in the dark when she falls asleep

We can make it up again
We can make it up again
And we don't care, we just pretend
With our faces on the mend
And don't ask a lot
And you won't lose a lot
Don't ask for much

Every accidental damage I wouldn't shake
And the heart I left behind that you couldn't break

We can make it up again
We can make it up again
And we don't care, we just pretend
With our faces on the mend
And don't ask a lot
And you won't lose a lot
Don't ask for much

And I said, "I miss you"
Say "I miss you too"
Said, "I miss you"
Say "I miss you too"
Said, "I miss you"
Say "I miss you too"

We want action and decision that we can't fake
We got firecracker wishes that we can make

We can make it up again
We can make it up again
And we don't care, we just pretend
With our faces on the mend
And don't ask a lot
And you won't lose a lot
Don't ask for much

Hey
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you
Do you miss me?
'Cause I miss you too
