Centre of Attention

Keep looking out the window
Just took the same pill twice
I feel frantic and fragile and damn it, unable to pinpoint why

I know that once I say it
It's not gonna come out right
So I do anything just to avoid appearing undignified

And it's no wonder why

Start out at the centre of attention
Now we want nothing more than to forget about it
Yeah, we know we can't afford another lesson, ooh

Start out and it felt like it was heaven
Before the fire came and all we did was choke on it
Only fools get a kick out of confessing, ooh

Hate how it feels familiar
It's like my conscience knows
All the chances I'm taking are making salvation impossible

But I can't help myself
I'm so conditioned I can't tell
What's right anymore
I'm alive, I'm afraid that I can't come home

But I already know

Start out at the centre of attention
Now we want nothing more than to forget about it
Yeah, we know we can't afford another lesson, ooh

Start out at the centre of attention
Now we want nothing more than to forget about it
Yeah, we know we can't afford another lesson, ooh

Start out and it felt like it was heaven
Before the fire came and all we did was choke on it
Only fools get a kick out of confessing, ooh
